Storm Team 3: There may be a southeast ice storm this weekend, but the afternoons will be milder this week.

Tuesday brought sunny but chilly conditions, with highs in the lower to mid-50s. Milder “spring-like” weather arrives mid-week before a weekend shift.

Short-Term Forecast (Wed-Fri)

  • Wednesday: Starts below freezing (mid/upper 20s inland), warms to lower 60s under partly cloudy skies.
  • Thursday & Friday: Mornings in lower/mid-40s, afternoons reach upper 60s (possibly low 70s in spots).

Weekend Wintry Threat

Colder air returns, raising risks for freezing rain—liquid rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces, potentially causing a tree-breaking ice storm in parts of Georgia and South Carolina.

  • Highest risk: Along and north of I-16; more accumulation farther north.
  • Uncertainty: Exact locations and amounts unclear now—forecasts will sharpen closer to the weekend.

Stay tuned to Storm Team 3 for Coastal Empire/Lowcountry updates. Prepare by monitoring roads, securing outdoor items, and checking on vulnerable folks (e.g., pipes, plants). With your interest in Lowcountry news, any specific spots like Beaufort or Hilton Head you’re watching?
