Cold weather dominates through the weekend, with a growing chance of snow Saturday in the Coastal Empire (including Savannah) and South Carolina Lowcountry. Expect freezing mornings, highs in the 50s mid-week, then a shift to wintry precipitation as a storm system arrives.
Day-by-Day Outlook
- Wednesday-Thursday: Freezing lows (below 32°F inland), highs mid-upper 50s. Mix of sun and clouds.
- Friday: Mostly dry and chilly (50s), stray evening showers possible. Colder air arrives overnight.
- Saturday: Rain early transitions to snow by midday as temps drop. Highest snow odds north of I-16; slim chances near Altamaha River. Brief sleet possible, low ice risk.
- Sunday: Very cold post-storm—teens lows (single-digit feels-like, possible sub-zero wind chills inland), highs in 30s. Gusty northwest winds.
- Next Week: Slow warming but below-normal cold persists; showers return later.
Snow Potential Highlights
A Pacific storm couples with Arctic air, favoring snow over ice. Coastal Empire/Lowcountry: Light accumulations possible, especially north of I-16. Heavier snow likely farther north (SC Midlands, Pee Dee, NC, southern VA). Details refine in 1-2 days—monitor NWS for updates.
This setup matches recent cold snaps in the Southeast. For South Carolina Lowcountry spots like Beaufort or Hilton Head (your interest area), snow chances are lower but nonzero—stay tuned for radar. Planning any outdoor hikes or prep for power outages?
