A severe weather risk is expected on Friday, with the possibility of strong evening/nighttime thunderstorms, wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes. The risk level has been reduced from enhanced to slight, but the threat remains. The risk is mainly along and southeast of I-85. The weekend will bring the coldest weather of the winter season. The risk of severe thunderstorms is expected to decrease, with a slight risk of strong/severe thunderstorms in the late afternoon/evening. The focus will shift to much colder temperatures in the coming days, with multiple hard freezes and feels like temperatures in the teens and 20s possible. Rain, a wintry mix, and snow are expected in far North Georgia, with no wintry precipitation expected in SE Georgia. Blustery winds and cold temperatures are anticipated for the weekend.
Big temperature swings ahead as the coldest weather so far this winter arrives this week. Multiple hard freezes and feels like temps in the teens/20s possible. #Savannah https://t.co/P6niLgF2Vr
Blustery weekend ahead! Hard freezes likely and feels like temps in the teens and 20s. #Savannah https://t.co/eBJCmnMsuU

Rain, a wintry mix, and snow in far North #Georgia. No wintry precip in SE Georgia expected. Just a lot of cold mid to late week. #Savannah https://t.co/hrZKwmiUcB
Need to monitor several days over the next week. Hard freezes are likely in southeast Georgia & the Lowcountry. The coldest temps may arrive this coming weekend. This is a look at forecast temps, not wind chills. #Savannah https://t.co/6RXbVhxjDr
First Alert Weather Day continues for the mountains & towns along & north of I-40. Highest elevations along the NC/TN border could get more than 6" of snow. Boone & Blowing Rock area more likely in the 1-3" range. #CLT #CLTwx #ncwx #SCwx https://t.co/UTLGgG8d6K

Good news...The severe weather risk continues to wane. The lack of sufficient instability and moisture are our limiting factors. Still can't completely rule out a damaging wind gust or a brief tornado but the entire area may escape severe weather altogether. Still watching the… https://t.co/3yGAlkWLTQ

☔️Showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening. A few storms may become strong to severe. ⛈️Damaging winds are the main potential threat with any storm that becomes severe. However, and isolated, brief tornado cannot be ruled out. #ncwx #scwx #gawx https://t.co/0iaLZd6MyZ
Could see a few stronger gusts along leading edge of the showers but the highest winds will arrive this afternoon/evening with gusts of 40-50+mph possible. Power outages are possible this evening. #inwx https://t.co/eh15bHUMX1
11:30am - No change to our risk of severe weather this evening. Still a very low chance of a damaging wind gust/brief tornado between 6pm - 1am.

Active weather to our west this morning! FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY! #ncwx #scwx #cltwx https://t.co/evj4en4OFs
Today is a First Alert Weather Day. We'll stay dry thru the midday hours before rain moves in –from west to east– beginning early afternoon, crossing the Charlotte late in the day. Heavy downpours, gusty winds & severe weather possible. #scwx #ncwx #cltwx https://t.co/Ks1IQFOakL
Today is a First Alert Weather Day. In advance of this evening's rainy / stormy front, the wind will pick up & it will remain elevated overnight before slowly backing down Saturday. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/L1l0J0vv8B
We continue with our First Alert Weather Day today. More rain heads our way this afternoon with even a few thunderstorms. The rain could lead to more localized flooding later today and we're also watching for the possibility of some severe storms. https://t.co/edJ7YOwyvQ
Today is a First Alert Weather Day. The day starts dry but more rain moves in for the PM hours. Everyone is fair game for more downpours & gusty winds, but the risk for severe weather/isolated tornadoes seems most likely to unfold near & S/E of #CLT / I-85. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/chDgTDRRde
Today is a First Alert Weather Day. We're dry for the morning & midday hours, but more rain moves in - from west to east - during the afternoon hours. Heaviest downpours could lead to more localized flooding around the #clt area, severe weather risk too. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/DukdoBBIfJ
Today is a First Alert Weather Day. After a dry start, more rain, heavy at times, gusty winds & a severe weather threat unfolds late in the day. Beyond that, the big weather story is next week will bring the coldest weather of the winter season! #CLT #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/lA45L8yoFn
The Storm Prediction Center has placed the southeastern part of our area under a Marginal Risk of severe weather later today. A Marginal Risk is at the lowest level of severe weather scale, but still means isolated strong to severe storms are possible. https://t.co/Z7atBWVKBJ
45am - nothing has changed with the latest update from the Storm Prediction Center. We’re still in a level 2 of 5 (slight) risk for severe storms. Here’s how Friday plays out.

Isolated thunderstorms possible on Friday. Just a slight risk of severe storms. Timing would mainly be after 3pm and before 9pm. #Savannah https://t.co/mPRccsVxUp
There is a threat of severe thunderstorms Friday afternoon, with damaging winds the main threat. Flood potential is low with most locations seeing an inch or less of rainfall. However, isolated heavy rain and minor flooding are possible. Stay weather aware. #ncwx #scwx #gawx https://t.co/ZY7XHkRD4c
Cold temperatures ahead for #Savannah and inland locations! First up, a chance of isolated strong/severe t-storms on Friday. https://t.co/B6k81MHJ1O
The cold will surge all the way to the coast next week. This will lead to lows in the 20s in #Savannah and highs only in the 40s! #gawx https://t.co/ywD8L1ofTs
While Friday evening's storms will NOT be widespread, one or two could produce strong wind gusts to 60 mph. With enough shear in place, we'll have to watch for a small but non zero risk of a tornado. Flooding rain and coastal flooding WILL NOT be an issue. #SCwx @WMBFnews https://t.co/P1uRCwk9Tv
Friday will start with some sunshine but gradually clouds will increase. The deeper we go into the afternoon the higher the chances of rain get. Don't see any severe weather during the afternoon.

Most of Friday is mostly cloudy, breezy and dry day. It's not until the late afternoon that we see a few showers, and likely not until near or after sunset that we'll have to watch for a few strong to severe storms. #SCwx @WMBFnews https://t.co/rNLOnA3NeI
The coldest temperatures so far this winter arrive over the next 10 days. Brrrr! #Savannah https://t.co/Y79t2OD46P
1/11 5:15pm ET: The new severe weather outlook for Friday has removed the Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5). However, all of our area remains in a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5). Coverage of storms is still questionable, but all modes of severe weather are possible. #ALwx #FLwx #GAwx https://t.co/C6mYtTPo0x
🟠🌪️The Enhanced Risk(level 3/5) of severe weather has been isolated to #Mississippi and #Alabama for Friday morning where damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will be possible then moving into parts of the Southeast. Meteorologist @ericalopezwx has the latest update. https://t.co/nNIrr7mcML
Gusty winds return with rain on Friday eve. A threat of strong to severe thunderstorms is there from 6pm to 12am, but they will not be widespread for all. Low tornado threat to monitor during that time. Gusty winds 35-45 mph through nighttime could cause a few issues. @WFMY https://t.co/X6Pv5BrKZA
Calm & dry through Friday afternoon. Rain arrives 2-4pm. Wind gusts 35-45 evening and overnight. T-storm threat 6pm-12am. Cold weekend. Watching Tuesday to see if we have any moisture for rain / mix or snow. Too early to know. https://t.co/FqPuxP4JVc
The overall threat of severe weather is lower than this past Tuesday. Any strong/severe storms look isolated on Friday late afternoon/evening. #Savannah https://t.co/yamKWE8nf2
Most of Friday is dry. Spotty to isolated showers/t-storms possible later afternoon and evening. Slight risk of a strong/severe t-storm. #Savannah https://t.co/xr7cZHDpGu
The SPC has reduced the level 3 (enhanced risk) to level 2 (slight risk) across our region tomorrow. Thus the severe weather threat is reduced, but there is still a risk for severe weather, just not as great as it appeared 24-36 hours ago. https://t.co/yqMlijySLV
Slight risk of severe storms Friday. The timing of any isolated strong/severe t-storms for southeast Georgia & the Lowcountry is after 4-5pm. I don't think any schools in our local area need to cancel on Friday. Much different setup than this past Tuesday. #Savannah https://t.co/E8rHAFLvfA
Severe storm threat DECREASING Friday. More of today’s latest data points to a less volatile set up for late tomorrow and the LEVEL 3 risk has been removed. We’ll still need to keep an eye on things tomorrow evening, but I’m liking the trends.#SCwx @wmbfnews https://t.co/VCPUCmZoJD
Good news is that the severe weather risk for Friday has been reduced slightly. The lack of storm fuel is lacking and could even go down further. Still a low to medium risk. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc https://t.co/x1Thnckfxw
The Storm Prediction Center has removed our area from the Level 3 of 5 (Enhanced) risk of severe storm for Friday evening meaning the tornado threat is lower.

Another round of severe weather possible on Friday, but this time it will be more of an evening/nighttime event. Wind, hail, tornado all possible, especially in the yellow and orange shaded areas. #ncwx https://t.co/JcHtPNLQL1
Friday is a First Alert Weather Day. But it won't rain all day. We'll start dry, but as wind gusts pick up Friday PM, the rain chance will follow. General timeline here. There can be a t-storm just about anywhere, but greatest risk is along & S/E of I-85. #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/Pse6IMttg2
Although the incoming system will not produce as much rain or widespread strong wind, there is still a risk of severe storms. Between 6pm Friday and 1am Saturday we remain in a level 3 of 5 (enhanced) risk for severe weather inland and level 2 of 5 (slight) risk along the Grand… https://t.co/qhpbsmMJ8a
THURSDAY MORNING UPDATE - The risk of severe storms continues for late Friday, but this forecast is highly uncertain. There continues to be very mixed signals with conditions both favorable and unfavorable for severe storms. Keep an eye on it. #SCwx @wmbfnews https://t.co/8t3j8zAXmP
Friday is a First Alert Weather Day. The day will start dry, but afternoon showers will be followed by stronger eve t-storms. The overall rain & wind appears a bit less intense than Tuesday's, but there is a severe weather risk, mainly S/E of I-85. #CLT #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx https://t.co/CPgbj2DmSL
