Cold, plus odds of accumulating snowfall Friday night/Saturday continue to increase. The path of a coastal area of low pressure holds the key to how much moisture we see, how long we're under it, and final snow totals. https://t.co/w83f6PE2kU

Morning clouds for some, then mostly sunny this afternoon with more melting taking place. Wind will pick up over the mountains today/tonight, contributing to very cold wind chills in some higher elevations tonight.

Keeping tabs on some possible snow Friday night into Saturday. Too early for anything close to a definitive call, but something to watch! https://t.co/E324PKOMOU

A look at the temperature from Marion, NC this morning. We've seen single-digits across the foothills and valleys this morning!
Coldest morning since Christmas Eve, 2022. @MeghanDanahey @eastwx @NWSGSP @ChrissyKohler @BickfordWX #ncwx

The 5 AM temperatures are COLD. Wind is lighter than yesterday, but "feels-like" temperatures are in the single-digits at times in the Upstate, below zero in the mountains. We may not get above freezing until shortly after noon, but our highs will be milder than yesterday's.

We get sun back today, but we will be staying cold (normal highs right now: 53 for GSP, 49 for AVL). Official highs for today in many mountain locations will have occurred early this morning as many were still above freezing.

The Ice Storm Warning for our area was replaced at 4 AM with a Winter Weather Advisory to account for the slick road threat many will face this morning. All precipitation is gone, but watch for some patchy fog this morning.

As colder air moves in behind today's system, wind will also pick up over the mountains in particular. This will drive wind chills down quite a bit, with higher elevations seeing below zero "feels-like" temperatures early Monday.

At least at our Spartanburg studio it has been mainly sleet to this point, and not freezing rain. Sleeting lightly at 4 AM. We’ve got a long way to go as a larger punch of freezing rain arrives later this afternoon. Join us for an expanded morning news from 6 AM till 9 AM!

We start Saturday dry. By afternoon a light mix of precipitation may get into the mountains, with light activity possible in the Upstate mid-late afternoon. We're above freezing for most before precipitation arrives. An Ice Storm Warning remains; a video link posts later this AM!
