Special Weather Statement issued February 3 at 5:10AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Effective: Tue February 3, 2026, 5:10 AM
Expires: Tue February 3, 2026, 11:00 AM

Temperatures have fallen below freezing again across the area, causing lingering runoff from melted snow and ice to refreeze on roads. Areas of black ice can be expected once again this morning. Temperatures should warm above freezing later this morning, with highs in the 40s to low 50s this afternoon. Be prepared for slick spots this morning, especially on bridges and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.

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.
