Greenville, South Carolina – It looks like winter might finally show up in the Upstate this week, and it’s time to start keeping an eye on the skies. While nothing is set in stone yet, there’s growing chatter about the possibility of snow, sleet, or freezing rain later this week. Better to be prepared just in case, right?
Here’s what’s happening: The latest weather data shows a potential area of low pressure forming to the south. This is exactly the kind of setup that could bring snow to the Upstate. The European weather model suggests we might see a little snow Friday afternoon before things warm up and transition into sleet or freezing rain by Friday night.
The American weather model (GFS) is showing something similar. It also points to snow arriving first, followed by a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain, and then rain as the temperatures shift Friday evening.
Of course, this is all based on predictions, and weather forecasts can change. The key factors to watch are the track of the low-pressure system, how cold it gets, and the timing of it all. The good news is that updates will be coming throughout the week, so you’ll know exactly what to expect as the situation unfolds.
For now, keep an eye on the forecast, make sure you’re ready for possible winter weather, and stay safe!
