Shelters are now open to help those in need during the cold weather.
A massive cold front has swept through Beaufort County, plunging temperatures well below freezing. Residents are warned of wind chill factors making it feel even colder. To assist those in need, two cold weather shelters have opened, offering meals and facilities for the homeless. Local authorities urge everyone to take precautions and stay warm during this chilly spell.
In Beaufort County, folks are bundling up as a massive cold front sweeps through the Lowcountry, leaving temperatures well below freezing! Over the next few days, residents can expect highs that are a far cry from our usual January thermometer readings, which typically hover around 47.7°F. Just imagine stepping outside and feeling that brisk air nipping at your cheeks!
So, what’s the forecast looking like? The National Weather Service is warning everyone to brace for a low of 29°F right around 5 a.m. on Friday morning. Yikes! And if you think it couldn’t get colder, just wait – the wind chill factor will make it feel like a bone-chilling 23°F at times, particularly on Tuesday morning when gusts could reach up to 21 mph. That’s definitely cold enough to make you want to curl up under a pile of blankets with a steaming cup of hot cocoa!
Now, here’s something to keep an eye on: Beaufort and Jasper counties are under a wind advisory until 4 p.m. on Monday. With southwest winds blowing at a speed of 20-25 mph and gusts hitting a whopping 45 mph, it’s best to secure any loose outdoor items to prevent them from becoming flying projectiles. You know how unpredictable the weather can be around here!
Heads up, because Monday is expected to bring some showers to the Beaufort area, with around 0.10 inches of rainfall predicted. Unfortunately for snow lovers, no white stuff is projected for Hilton Head. Just rain – yay.
As we deal with these nippy temperatures, it’s heartwarming to see the community come together to help those in need. Two cold weather shelters have been organized for the homeless, and here are the details:
This is actually the second cold front we’ve experienced in just a few weeks – remember those chilly temperatures in early December? Following this cold wave, keep your fingers crossed for a midweek dry spell, although light showers are expected to creep back in by Friday afternoon, leading to a soggy weekend with temps climbing into the high 30s and low 40s. It’s a rollercoaster of weather, folks!
As always, local authorities are urging everyone to take the necessary precautions against the cold. If you have any sensitive pipes or plants, now’s the time to make sure they’re protected. Nobody wants to deal with broken pipes or frostbitten flowers when spring is just around the corner!
So, keep warm, check in on your neighbors, and stay safe out there, Beaufort County!
