Schools and other institutions are closed Tuesday amid a winter storm warning and predictions that light rain and freezing temperatures will combine for treacherous roads throughout the Waco region.The National Weather Service on Monday predicted that a strong arctic cold front moving through the Great Plains will bring freezing rain and sleet 'from Tennessee to Texas.' A quarter-inch of frozen rain could accumulate in Central Texas, bringing with it downed trees and power outages along with dangerous travel conditions, the NWS said.
