Areas north of U.S. 90 and Interstate 10 will see a possibility for snow or sleet Monday night and into Tuesday, meteorologists with the National Weather Service said.

"Too early to tell specifics or to forecast amounts, but at this time there could be a mix of freezing rain and sleet, and perhaps snow depending on the depth of the cold air," reads a weather alert from the National Weather Service.
