Greenville Weather Update: Winter Wonder or Just a Tease?
Hey there, Greenville! As we dive into mid-February, it looks like we’re in for a bit of a weather rollercoaster. If you’re a fan of snow, you might want to keep an eye on the skies this week! An influx of Arctic air is barreling towards our lovely city, signaling the possible return of those fluffy white flakes we all remember from early January.
This Week’s Forecast: A Mixed Bag
Let’s start with what to expect in the coming days. The morning might greet us with a mix of clouds and sunshine, although prepare for the clouds to take over as the day progresses. Highs are forecasted to reach around 56°F, with light winds that shouldn’t disrupt your midweek plans too much.
As we slide into the evening, skies will shift to partly cloudy, eventually solidifying into a more overcast view overnight. The temperature will dip to a low of 36°F with winds coming from the east-northeast at about 5 to 10 mph. So, if you’re out and about, it might be a good idea to grab a light jacket!
Snow Flurries on the Horizon
Now, onto the exciting part! On February 19, snow flurries are making headlines—well, forecasts, at least. There’s a 42% chance we might see some white stuff falling from the sky. While accumulation is generally not on the cards, we could be looking at a possible “dusting at best”; that’s about 0.1 inches expected. Areas in the northern parts of Greenville, Pickens counties, and western North Carolina might see a bit more excitement with slightly higher amounts.
Areas lined south of the Interstate 85 corridor might be a tad luckier, but don’t put your snow boots away just yet! The precipitation could kick off as a rain-snow mix, especially near that corridor. Temperatures during the event are predicted to hang in the mid-30s, which might cause a few transitions from snow to rain. This could temper our excitement for significant accumulation.
Watch Out for Slippery Spots!
As the evening draws near, temperatures are expected to plunge below freezing. This could lead to some icy patches, particularly in shaded areas. If you’re driving on Wednesday night, just remember to stay alert; some roads may get a bit slick. Safety first, Greenville!
Chilly Nights Ahead
Following this potential winter weather event, brace yourselves for chilly nights with temperatures dipping down into the 20s. Get ready for those cozy blankets and hot cocoa by the fireplace! The following weekend promises mostly sunny yet chilly conditions after the passing of the cold front. Remember those gloriously crisp January nights? Well, they’re making a comeback!
Weather Concerns Across the Region
It’s important to note that a hazardous weather outlook is now in effect for areas in Northeast Georgia, North Carolina, western North Carolina, and also for Upstate South Carolina due to this potential winter storm. So, whether you’re planning outdoor activities or just running errands, make sure to check those weather updates.
In summary, it seems like we could be in for a bit of everything this week! Remember to stay warm, be safe, and enjoy the funky weather patterns Greenville has to offer. Here’s hoping for at least a little sprinkle of magic in the air, even if it’s just a fleeting flurry!
