Charleston, SC – Parts of South Carolina could see a brief taste of winter weather Sunday morning as a cold front moves through the region, bringing mostly rain with a chance of a rain-and-snow mix inland.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, rain will develop late Saturday night and continue into Sunday morning. As colder air moves in around daybreak Sunday, temperatures are expected to fall into the mid-30s, allowing precipitation to briefly mix with or change to snow, especially west of the I-95 corridor.
Forecasters say areas west of I-95, including parts of Colleton, Hampton, Allendale, and Bamberg counties, have a 40–50% chance of seeing measurable snow, while the remainder of the region has a lower 10–30% chance. Any snow that does fall is expected to be light, with up to half an inch possible, mainly on grassy surfaces and elevated roadways.
The precipitation timeline shows rain dominating early Sunday morning, with a rain/snow mix developing between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. inland. Some locations could briefly transition to all snow for two to four hours before precipitation tapers off by early afternoon.
While significant accumulation is not expected due to warm ground temperatures from recent mild weather, impacts could still occur. The National Weather Service warns that slick sidewalks, walkways, bridges, and overpasses are possible, particularly in areas that experience snowfall.
In addition, rapidly falling temperatures Sunday night could lead to isolated black ice early Monday morning, though steady winds and lower humidity may help limit widespread icing.
Drivers are encouraged to remain alert for changing road conditions, especially during the Sunday morning commute.
