Savannah, Georgia, and the Lowcountry region face wintry weather on Saturday, with bitterly cold conditions arriving Sunday—both days designated as Storm Team 3 Weather Alert Days.
Key Alerts
A Winter Storm Warning covers areas north of I-16 through Sunday morning, forecasting 1-4 inches of snow, heaviest farther north. South of I-16, a Winter Weather Advisory predicts up to an inch or a coating. An Extreme Cold Warning affects the entire Coastal Empire and Lowcountry from 7 p.m. Saturday to noon Sunday, with lows in the teens and wind chills in single digits.
Saturday Forecast
Morning showers give way to all snow by midday, with temperatures falling from the low 30s to the 20s. Expect dry, powdery snow that accumulates quickly without melting on cooling roads, plus increasing winds causing blowing snow in the evening.
Sunday Outlook
An arctic blast brings near-record lows around 18°F (record: 16°F from 1966), gusty winds, and dangerous single-digit wind chills.
Safety Tips
Protect the “four Ps”: People (layer up, limit outdoor time); Pipes (let faucets drip); Pets (bring indoors); Plants (cover with cloth). These precautions mitigate risks from the rare coastal snow and extreme cold.
