Greenville, SC – A winter storm continues to impact the mountains of South Carolina, especially along the Tennessee border, with snowfall tapering off by early Monday morning. The National Weather Service has issued extreme cold warnings and advisories for the region, with temperatures expected to plummet overnight.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, areas above 3,500 feet may experience wind chills as low as -20°F, while lower elevations will see single-digit wind chills. Untreated roads could become dangerously slippery as dry snow accumulates and freezes.
The storm is expected to bring additional snowfall, with the heaviest totals confined to mountain areas, where some roads may become impassable. Power outages are also possible in regions with significant snow accumulation.
Residents are advised to limit travel and take precautions against the extreme cold. Exposed skin can frostbite in minutes at such low wind chills. For areas south of I-85, light snow is possible Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning, which could create slick roads even with minimal accumulation.
The cold weather is expected to persist into midweek, with updates and advisories available from the National Weather Service. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and take steps to stay warm and safe.
