Snow accumulation could be increasing
winter weather graphic

Southeast Georgia, including Liberty and Long counties, is under a winter storm warning from the National Weather Service.

The forecast for snowfall total has increased modestly overnight and freezing rain amounts are trending up along the coast.

Forecasters have high confidence that bitterly cold temperatures will impact southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia this week. Near-record low temperatures are possible Wednesday night. Dangerous wind chills are possible, especially Wednesday night, with values as low as 8-15°F.

Precipitation is expected to arrive this afternoon or early evening, and accumulation of snow and freezing rain is expected. Snow could be from 1 to 2.5 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. An accumulation of close to a quarter-inch of ice is projected for mainly coastal counties.

The risk of additional freezing rain along the immediate coast Thursday night is now very low.

There are also could be travel issues into Wednesday night and Thursday as wet roads could refreeze.
