Fri Jan 10 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Upstate South Carolina Braces for Winter Weather Mix
**Greenville, SC** – Upstate South Carolina is experiencing its first snowfall of the season, with accumulating snow expected to intensify through Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service predicts light to moderate snow accumulation before a transition to a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain Friday evening.
This transition is expected to occur across much of the Upstate, with the wintry precipitation subsiding by early Saturday morning. While clearing skies and temperatures above freezing in the 40s are anticipated by Saturday afternoon, some refreezing is possible Saturday night into Sunday morning.
The greatest concern is the potential for icy conditions, particularly south of I-85. Ice accumulation from sleet and freezing rain is forecast to range from 1/10th to 1/4th of an inch in this area, posing a significant risk to drivers. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and prepare for potentially hazardous road conditions. The snow is expected to melt or evaporate during the daytime hours of Saturday and Sunday.
