South Carolina — Snowflakes thicken quickly this morning as winds push cold air down from the mountains. Roads fade from wet to white in minutes. Conditions are deteriorating fast across the Upstate.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Greenville–Spartanburg area through Sunday morning. Snow totals of 4 to 8 inches are expected, especially along the foothills and higher elevations. Gusty northeast winds near 25 mph will reduce visibility and cause blowing snow at times.
Snow becomes heavy through the morning and midday. Travel may turn dangerous, especially on I-85, U.S. 29, and secondary roads. Even treated pavement can ice quickly as temperatures hover in the 20s. Plan to delay travel if possible. Keep emergency supplies nearby.
An Extreme Cold Warning follows tonight into Sunday morning. Temperatures fall into the low teens, with wind chills dropping to 5 degrees below zero. Exposed skin can suffer frostbite quickly. Power outages are possible as heavy snow and gusty winds stress tree limbs and lines.
Sunday brings improving skies, but the cold lingers. Sunshine returns, yet highs only reach the mid-30s. Melting snow during the afternoon may refreeze after sunset, creating flash-freeze conditions on roads and sidewalks.
Early next week trends quieter but still wintry. Monday warms slightly, with highs near 40 degrees. Tuesday reaches the mid-40s, though clouds increase. By midweek, another system may bring rain or a rain-snow mix as February begins.
This pattern remains active across the Southeast. Meteorologists continue tracking colder air that could reload later in the week. Stay weather-aware and monitor updates.
