Special Weather Statement issued February 1 at 11:53AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Effective: Sun February 1, 2026, 11:53 AM
Expires: Mon February 2, 2026, 8:00 AM

Any snow that melts today today will refreeze after sunset as temperatures will remain below freezing through Monday morning across much of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Thus, widespread black ice can be expected this evening through Monday morning. If traveling, be prepared for hazardous road conditions, especially on bridges and overpasses as well as on untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots. Although temperatures will rise above freezing across most locations by Monday afternoon, patchy black ice may linger across the higher elevations of the North Carolina mountains as well as in shaded areas throughout Monday.


Cold Weather Advisory issued February 1 at 1:26PM EST until February 2 at 9:00AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

While some melting of snow is occurring today under sunny skies, temperatures after sunset will quickly drop well below freezing. This will lead to icy road conditions this evening into Monday morning as liquid on roadways will refreeze in spots. Hazardous travel conditions are possible once again, especially on untreated roadways and in shaded spots where not much melting occurred today. Drive carefully and please refer to local officials for specific road conditions in your community.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
