18. National Weather Service just did update..More Snow & Sleet than Freezing Rain

starting tonight. Which is better news than a full blown Ice Storm. So if the freezing rain doesn't accumulate on the Trees then there will be less power outages. Still the Snow, Sleet and cold will make for some bad driving conditions...and still worries about the "black ice on the roads."

Here's the National Weather Service most recent update:

Last Update on 28 Jan 1:56 pm EST

This Afternoon Rain. High near 41. North wind around 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
Tonight Rain before 9pm, then freezing rain between 9pm and 3am, then snow and sleet after 3am. Low around 26. North wind around 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New ice accumulation of 0.2 to 0.4 of an inch possible. New snow and sleet accumulation of around an inch possible.
Wednesday Snow and sleet before 1pm, then a slight chance of snow between 1pm and 3pm, then a slight chance of rain after 3pm. High near 34. North wind 11 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow and sleet accumulation of around an inch possible.
Wednesday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 27. North wind 11 to 13 mph.
Thursday Mostly sunny, with a high near 42. North wind 9 to 13 mph.
Thursday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 27.
Friday Mostly sunny, with a high near 51.

IN GENERAL OUR ACCUMULATION FORECAST IS FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THE
PREVIOUS PACKAGE. HOWEVER WE ARE NOW SHOWING A BIT MORE SNOW AND
SLEET ACCUMULATION ACROSS THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA DUE TO A
SLIGHTLY QUICKER CHANGEOVER LATE TONIGHT COINCIDENT WITH THE BEST
SYNOPTIC FORCING. WE ALSO SHOW SLIGHTLY LOWER TOTALS ACROSS
COASTAL SOUTHEAST GA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE PROFILE WILL NOT
SUPPORT MUCH ACCUMULATION UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT.

WE OPTED TO CHANGE THE ICE STORM WARNING TO A GENERIC WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR ALL AREAS SINCE WE ARE NOW SHOWING GREATER SNOW/SLEET
ACCUMULATIONS IN EXISTING ICE STORM WARNING AREAS.
