A wave of low pressure moving along a cold front Friday night and Saturday morning is expected to bring accumulating snowfall across much of the region. This is likely to cause travel difficulties Saturday morning.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from 7 p.m. Friday to 1 p.m. EST Saturday.

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow, which is in effect from 7 p.m. Friday to 1 p.m. EST Saturday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect.

Locations include portions of Northeast Georgia, foothills and Piedmont of North Carolina, and portions of Upstate South Carolina.

Rain will change to a mix of snow and sleet late Friday afternoon before changing to all snow Friday evening. Snow will continue overnight and taper off Saturday morning.

Accumulations of 4 to 6 inches of snow are predicted.

The heavy snow will make many roads impassable and may produce widespread power outages due to the weight of the snow on tree limbs and power lines.

Temperatures will be in the lower 30s with winds north 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Visibility will be less than one mile at times early Saturday morning.
