Lowcountry residents, bundle up—frigid air is diving in this weekend, with a side of potential winter weather from an offshore low-pressure system. Storm Team 2 is tracking it closely, but details hinge on the system’s path.
Forecast Breakdown
- Tue (Jan 27): Low 40s daytime; upper 20s overnight.
- Wed-Fri (Jan 28-30): Warming to ~50° highs.
- Weekend (Jan 31-Feb 1): Highs upper 30s; overnight lows ~19° Sat night. Jet stream dip fueling the cold.
Wintry Weather Scenarios
- Scenario 1 (Coastal track): Wintry mix or rain + cold.
- Scenario 2 (Offshore track): Possible accumulating snow + frigid temps.
- Scenario 3 (Far offshore): Dry but bitterly cold.
As Meteorologist Jed Christoph notes, it’s early (5 days out), so expect shifts—cold clash between Arctic air and moist Gulf air could spin up the low. Perfect setup to stay indoors if snow hits those Lowcountry trails you hike.
