February 26, 2015 2:42 AM EST

A winter storm will bring rain and snow to much of the South on Wednesday night, stretching from North Texas to the Carolinas.

Atlanta, Nashville and Charlotte can all expect freezing rain and sleet. The Gulf Coast, meanwhile, will suffer through heavy rain and thunderstorms, according to Weather.com.

The midwest will also get rain and snow, from Springfield, Ill., to Pittsburgh. That storm will eventually merge with the one moving up from the South.
