Winter Weather Update #2

Charleston County Emergency Management is continuing to monitor the winter weather system that has started to impact the Lowcountry this weekend. We are currently under a Winter Storm Warning and an Extreme Cold Warning for our area.

According to the latest National Weather Service predictions, the Charleston area could receive approximately 3-5 inches of snow, while Awendaw–McClellanville may see closer to 4-6 inches, with snowfall continuing into early Sunday.

Windchills could be close to 0 degrees in some areas of the County. Coastal winds will also increase, with gusts of 25 to 40 mph possible tonight into Sunday. There is potential for black ice to occur starting Sunday night. Snow melting could occur tomorrow, but it could refreeze overnight causing black ice. This could also continue to happen through Monday.

The Seabrook Island Club and its amenities are closed Saturday, January 31 - Monday, February 2. ​

We continue to encourage people not to travel. Local leaders say driving could be impossible, especially at night over bridges.
