Charleston, South Carolina – A wintry mix with minor snowfall remains possible across inland portions of the Lowcountry and southeast Georgia today, though widespread travel issues are unlikely, according to the National Weather Service in Charleston.
In a weather update posted early Sunday morning, the National Weather Service said expected snowfall amounts range from a trace to no more than one-half inch, with any accumulation primarily limited to grassy areas and elevated surfaces, such as rooftops. Forecasters noted that isolated slick spots could develop on roadways, especially on bridges and overpasses, but significant or widespread impacts are not anticipated at this time.
Forecast graphics indicate the highest snowfall potential remains well inland, while coastal areas, including the Charleston metro area, are expected to see little to no accumulation. The National Weather Service emphasized that temperatures are marginal, which will limit snow accumulation on most road surfaces.
However, officials cautioned that rapidly falling temperatures tonight could lead to patchy black ice early Monday morning, particularly where moisture lingers. Steady winds and lowering humidity may help limit ice formation, but commuters are urged to remain cautious.
Residents traveling early Monday are advised to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and remain alert for slick spots, especially in shaded or elevated areas.
The National Weather Service encourages the public to monitor updates for any changes as conditions evolve.
