A round of thunderstorms with high winds and lightning moved through the Entergy Mississippi service territory today resulting in widespread customer outages.

Entergy Arkansas continues to actively monitor the winter weather expected to move through the state this week bringing snow, sleet and freezing rain. While forecasts are continually changing and the exact impact to the Arkansas service area is hard to predict, crews are prepared to adapt to whatever the environment brings.

Entergy Mississippi crews, contractors, tree trimmers and scouts are working diligently to restore power following Saturday night’s severe weather system that caused widespread damages and a peak of 30,491 customer outages in the central and southern portions of our service area. As of 7 p.m., we have already restored power to about 26,000 customers.
