Charleston, SC – Forecasters are closely monitoring a system that could bring freezing rain, snow, and sleet to southeast Georgia and South Carolina early next week. The likelihood of accumulating winter precipitation remains uncertain, but the National Weather Service has identified Tuesday as a potential day for impactful weather.
According to the National Weather Service Charleston office, confidence in the storm’s exact track and timing is still low. However, current models suggest a probability of minor impacts from freezing precipitation, particularly during a 24-hour window ending Tuesday at 7 p.m. Areas in the Lowcountry and coastal regions should prepare for possible travel disruptions.
In the meantime, Charleston will see cooler temperatures this week. Thursday brings sunny skies with highs near 56 degrees and nighttime lows around 37 degrees. Friday will remain clear and cool, with temperatures peaking near 54 degrees. Rain will return Saturday with an 80% chance of showers and highs in the 60s, lingering into Sunday.
Residents are advised to monitor local weather updates and plan accordingly, especially for Monday evening into Tuesday morning, when freezing conditions could develop. Drivers should exercise caution on bridges and overpasses, which freeze more quickly during winter weather.
