Daily Weather Briefing for Saturday, January, 13, 2018





Outlook

Cold and dry high pressure will settle in from the north through the weekend. Another cold front will cross the region Tuesday through Tuesday night, ushering in even colder air from mid to late next week.


Hazards (updated at 3:55 am)

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement regarding the potential for slick roads this morning. The full text is posted below:

***Special Weather Statement***
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
352 AM EST Sat Jan 13 2018


...SLICK ROADS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS MORNING...

Temperatures have dropped quickly overnight, quickly dropping below freezing. Roads in these areas may have been wet as the temperatures dropped due to yesterday's rainfall. So icy patches may have developed wherever the roads remain wet following the onset of freezing temperatures. This is particularly likely on bridges and other elevated surfaces. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution if venturing out this morning. Ice is difficult to identify on roadways at night.

Also, scattered light snow showers continue to develop near the Tennessee border. Less than an inch of snow is expected through midday, when snow showers will taper off. These accumulations could be enough to cause slippery roads even in areas where the roads are not initially wet. This should give drivers still more reason to drive with extra caution.

Today

Mostly sunny with highs ranging from the upper 20s at the higher elevations to the mid-30s in the lower elevations. Wind 10 to 15 mpg out of the northwest, gusting into the 20 mph range.

Tonight

Mostly clear with lows in the teens. Winds 5 to 10 mph out of the northwest, calming after midnight.

Sunday

Sunny with highs ranging from the lower 30s at the higher elevations to the mid-to-upper 30s in the lower elevations. Light winds out of the northwest.

Sunday Night

Partly cloudy with lows in the teens and calm winds.
