Winter Weather Outlook for South Carolina: A Warm and Dry Season Ahead
As we cozy up to another winter season, the weather enthusiasts in South Carolina have some intriguing forecasts to digest. Folks in cities like Columbia and beyond can expect a winter that’s a bit different from the usual chilly and damp days. Get ready for a winter that may just surprise you!
A Warmer Winter Awaits
The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center has predicted that South Carolina may experience warmer than average temperatures this winter, which runs from December 21 to March 20. In fact, regions in the Upstate could see a 40% to 50% chance of above-normal temperatures, while the Lowcountry is looking at an even higher likelihood of around 50% to 60% of feeling warmer.
This comes after a rather brisk fall where the cooler temperatures finally made their presence felt. But don’t go thinking that means we’re in for a harsh and frigid season. Instead, grab your light jackets since this winter won’t be the freeze-fest some might expect!
