Alert: Special Weather Statement
Area(s): Jenkins; Screven; Candler; Bulloch; Tattnall; Evans; Allendale
Effective: 2026-01-18 @ 7:46 am
Onset: 2026-01-18 @ 7:46 am -> 2026-01-18 @ 12:15 pm
Severity: Moderate
Certainty: Observed
Urgency: Expected
Issued By: NWS Charleston SC on 2026-01-18 @ 7:46 am
Headline: Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:46AM EST by NWS Charleston SC
Description: Widespread rain will impact the region today an area of low
pressure strengthens off the Southeast U.S. coast. The rain could
mix with or change to all snow later today as colder air filters
in the region behind the departing storm system. The risk for any
snow will be greatest along and west of a line from Reidsville to
Statesboro and Allendale. This includes communities such as
Metter, Millen, Emmalane, Hilltonia, Sylvania, Hopeulikit, Martin
and Ulmer. Widespread light to moderate snow is already impacting
much of central and southwest Georgia where accumulations have
been reported.

While significant snow accumulations are unlikely at this time,
some very minor accumulations will be possible from mid-morning
today into early afternoon hours. Accumulations, should they
occur, would most likely be confined to grassy areas and other
elevated surfaces such as roof tops. Isolated slick spots could
also occur on bridges and overpasses, but significant travel
impacts are not expected at this time given temperatures will
largely remain above freezing. Any snow that accumulates will
quickly melt once the snow ends, thus limiting its impact.

Should the risk for accumulating snowfall increase, a Winter
Weather Advisory may be issued for the area.
