ATLANTA (AP) - Forecasters say parts of the Deep South were in the path of a weather system that's expected to bring more snow, followed by bitterly cold temperatures.

The National Weather Service on Tuesday had issued winter storm warnings in northern Louisiana and the northwest portion of Mississippi.

Winter weather advisories covered most of Alabama and much of Georgia as well, and several school districts across the region canceled classes for Tuesday.

Snow was falling before dawn Tuesday in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. It was expected to move into Alabama and Georgia later Tuesday.
