A strong cold front hits coastal South Carolina and southeast Georgia late Monday night, ushering in sharp cold by Tuesday morning. Wind chills drop to the lower to mid-20s inland, with Charleston around 25°F, Columbia and Beaufort in the low 20s, and Savannah/Statesboro possibly hitting 20°F (40-60% chance). Coastal spots stay milder due to ocean influence.
Potential Alerts and Timeline
The National Weather Service may issue a Cold Weather Advisory for inland areas if winds and temps align overnight. Coldest conditions strike early Tuesday morning during commutes, easing later with returning sunshine and moderating temps.
Safety Tips for Residents
Protect against low wind chills, especially if you’re commuting, working outdoors, or have early school runs:
- Layer clothing and cover exposed skin (hat, gloves, scarf).
- Bring pets indoors.
- Check vehicles for safe winter driving.
- Monitor NWS updates via their Charleston office site or app for real-time alerts.
This follows milder weather, so the shift could catch some off guard—stay prepared through Tuesday morning. What’s your morning routine like in this kind of cold?
