Current weather forecasts are predicting a significant winter weather event in the South from Thursday, January 9 through Saturday, January 11. Hazardous travel conditions are expected due to an incoming mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow through the weekend. Slow travel may lead to delivery delays caused by heavy traffic and road closures.

• Mexican and offshore produce shipments arriving through Texas ports may be delayed
• East Coast produce logistics originating in Florida will be hampered by this event
  • Florida is currently harvesting bell peppers, cucumbers, squash, strawberries, cabbage, watermelon, and lettuces
  • Orders for Central American melons and cucumbers arriving through Florida ports may be delayed as well
• Markon will continue to monitor and update as more information becomes available
