Charleston, South Carolina, faces a potential wintry mix this weekend due to cold air and possible coastal low pressure, though details remain uncertain.
Forecast Outlook
Forecasters anticipate temperatures 20-25°F below normal, with strong winds creating dangerous wind chills and possible record lows. A developing low off the Southeast coast could bring precipitation to the Lowcountry and southeastern Georgia, potentially mixing with winter weather if timing aligns.
Key Uncertainties
The system’s track and arrival are unclear, affecting whether Greater Charleston sees impacts; moisture availability with the cold air is questionable. Models hint at snow, but Chief Meteorologist Bill Walsh notes plenty of forecast variability this far out (several days away).
Preparation Steps
