Significant Winter Weather Alert

Norfolk Southern is monitoring and preparing for a significant winter storm which is expected to impact large portions of the Plains, Mississippi Valley, Southeast, and Mid Atlantic from Friday through Saturday night with heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

Widespread snowfall totals of 3–6 inches are forecasted, with localized 6–12 inches, from the Southern Plains through the Tennessee Valley, Southern Appalachians, Virginia, and the Mid Atlantic. Freezing rain will impact Texas, the Lower Mississippi Valley, the Deep South, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Sub-freezing temperatures will persist throughout the storm with overnight lows in the single digits to teens.

At this time, all Norfolk Southern Intermodal facilities are operating under normal conditions and no terminal or gate closures are planned. NS will continue to monitor and adapt to conditions over the weekend as additional winter hazards may continue into Sunday. Customers are strongly encouraged to review local forecasts and Department of Transportation information for updates regarding conditions in their local areas.
