Special Weather Statement
Issued: 3:34 AM Feb. 5, 2026 – National Weather Service
...AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AND PATCHY BLACK ICE POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING...

Snow showers are developing along the Escarpment and are expected
to generally drift east into the Piedmont from late evening
through the overnight. Snow showers are possible roughly along a
line from Greenville to Spartanburg to York and areas north and
east. Most locations should only see a trace on mainly grassy and
elevated surface. But localized accumulations of up to an inch are
possible in the heavier showers. There is also still melting snow
from last weekend's storm across portions of the North Carolina
Foothills and Piedmont that may refreeze by daybreak Thursday and
produce black ice. Be prepared for slick spots, especially on
bridges and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra
caution when walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.
