Freeze Warning Issued for Northern Midlands of South Carolina

Columbia, S.C. – A severe freeze warning is now in effect for several counties in the northern Midlands of South Carolina as the region braces for significant drops in temperature overnight. The alert specifically targets the counties of Newberry, Fairfield, Kershaw, and Lee. Residents are advised to take precautions against potential damage to crops and plumbing.

When and Where

The freeze warning is in place from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday, affecting the northern Midlands. The National Weather Service upgraded what had previously been a freeze watch, indicating a greater risk of freezing temperatures across the specified counties.

What’s Happening

The recent weather change is attributed to a cold front that has moved offshore, bringing a blast of chilly and dry air into the area. On Thursday, the temperatures struggled to rise, reaching only the 50s, and strong winds further contributed to the cold feel. Although winds will subside overnight to around 10 mph, they will still carry cold air down from the north, causing temperatures to hover around 32 degrees within the freeze warning area.

Why This is Important

Freezing temperatures present a serious threat to outdoor crops and sensitive plants. Individuals are warned to take protective measures, such as moving sensitive plants indoors and ensuring that exposed pipes are adequately covered. The overnight forecast is expected to bring risk for frost, which can harm unprotected plants and outdoor plumbing.

What to Expect on Friday and Beyond

Following a frigid Friday morning, temperatures are anticipated to remain cool throughout the day, only reaching the mid-50s. Winds will still be noticeable but less intense than those observed on Thursday. People are encouraged to stay alert for potential further drops in temperature overnight into Saturday.

By Saturday, the weather is expected to warm slightly with highs in the low 60s. The dry conditions will continue, but overnight lows will still be chilly, settling in the mid-30s.

Looking Ahead

As the weekend progresses into Sunday and the following week, milder weather is forecasted to settle in. With the arrival of warmer air, daytime highs may climb into the upper 60s and even the low 70s by early next week. However, the potential for a new cold front introduces some uncertainty, possibly bringing unsettled weather, though widespread rain is currently deemed unlikely.

Take Action Now

Residents in affected areas should take immediate action to secure any plants or outdoor plumbing that may be vulnerable to freezing temperatures. By staying informed and prepared, the potential for damage can be significantly minimized.
