Transportation Department is investigating. Southwest canceled about 16,700 flights over the last 10 days of the year, and the U.S. The flight disruptions follow Southwest’s meltdown in December that began with a winter storm but continued after most other airlines had recovered. “We’re expecting ice accumulations potentially a quarter inch or higher as far south as Austin, Texas, up to Dallas over to Little Rock, Arkansas, towards Memphis, Tennessee, and even getting close to Nashville, Tennessee,” according to Chenard. “Generally light to moderate freezing rain resulting in some pretty significant ice amounts,” Chenard said. The storm began Monday as part of an expected “several rounds” of wintry precipitation through Wednesday across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Marc Chenard. The interstate connects Little Rock, Arkansas, to Memphis, Tennessee. “I-40 is usually one of the first things that freezes over due to its slight elevation.”īy late Tuesday morning, I-40 was cleared and traffic had resumed, the Arkansas Department of Transportation announced. “When I-40 shuts down like that, that can be hours of waiting,” said John Gadberry, who lives in Colt, Arkansas, not far from the highway. “They hit the ice and they start wrecking,” he said.

In many of the crashes, the drivers pick up speed on the highway but run into trouble when they reach a bridge, he said.

The department responded to two bad wrecks and about 15 other crashes Tuesday morning, Division Chief Jeremy Sharp said by telephone.

In Arkansas, Interstate 40 Tuesday morning was ice-coated and “extremely hazardous” in the Forrest City area, according to the city’s fire department. We cannot overemphasize that,” Abbott said. “The roadways are very hazardous right now.
