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 update, 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 through Monday, February 2.
The Lake House is currently closed and will be closed all day on Sunday, February 1 with no after hour access Saturday or Sunday.
We continue to encourage people not to travel. With the snow and high wind expected, local leaders say driving could become extremely difficult, especially at night over bridges.
