Charleston residents are gearing up for a possible snow and ice event as meteorologists predict a dramatic drop in temperatures. After seven years without significant snowfall, the area could see flurries this weekend. Cold weather advisories are being issued, with a likelihood of minor travel impacts from snow and ice next week. The community is advised to prepare and stay informed, with resources available for those in need during the cold spell. Looking ahead, South Carolina may experience a mix of winter weather throughout the season.
As the weekend approaches, residents of Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry are buzzing with excitement—and a bit of anxiety—over the potential for snow. After a long seven years without a proper snow day, whispers in the air suggest that flakes may indeed fall this weekend and early next week. So, if you haven’t dusted off your cozy winter gear yet, now might be the perfect time!
The weather forecast isn’t entirely settled just yet, but meteorologists are advising locals to prepare for a drastic drop in temperatures. Following a rainy and chilly weekend, lows are expected to slide into the 30s on both Tuesday and Wednesday. And let’s not forget about the windchill—feelings of cold could reach a biting 10 degrees during this cold snap, prompting everyone to think twice about venturing outside without those layers. Time to bring out those hats, gloves, and oh-so-snug boots!
Cold weather advisories are on the horizon, though details regarding how much snow and ice could actually hit the ground is still a bit fuzzy. Although we can’t yet pin down an exact forecast, those in the know are keeping a close watch as conditions unfold, especially through the weekend.
A cold front is likely heading our way, with the potential for showers rolling through from early Saturday into Sunday morning. This may result in up to one and a half inches of rain before the temperatures take a nosedive. Fortunately, meteorologists anticipate that this weekend’s rain won’t lead to flooding, so that’s a relief!
As for snow and ice predictions next week, there’s a 30 to 50 percent chance of minor impacts, which might make roads slick and create some challenges for travelers. If you’re making plans, it could be a good time to monitor the conditions and think about delaying any unnecessary trips. There’s also a 20 to 30 percent chance of moderate impacts that could trigger a winter storm warning—yikes! It’s always wise to err on the side of caution.
The Beaufort County School District is taking the situation seriously and will alert families by mid-day Monday if any operational changes occur due to the weather. It’s a good reminder for everyone to stay informed as circumstances develop. In a wonderful show of community spirit, Sea Island Presbyterian Church is opening a cold shelter from Sunday through Wednesday nights, operating from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. This is a fantastic resource for those who need a warm place to stay during the cold spell.
Looking ahead, predictions suggest that South Carolina may enjoy a warmer and drier winter overall, though sporadic snowfall is still a possibility as the season rolls on. As winter officially begins on December 21 and concludes on March 20, it’s worth keeping an eye out for any surprises the skies may hold. Early January may also bring another storm from the Gulf, adding more showers with colder temperatures expected mid-January.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this winter might deliver a mix of fluctuating temperatures and scattered snow across various regions. As always, staying informed will be key during this chilly season. So, Charleston, as we prepare for potential snow and ice, let’s make sure we’re bundled up and ready to tackle whatever winter throws our way, while also savoring the beauty of this rare weather phenomenon!
