Special Weather Statement issued November 11 at 2:00AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Although snow showers will taper off around daybreak, slippery road conditions are expected in the mountains this morning, especially across areas that received accumulating snowfall in the last 24 hours and with below freezing temperatures in place. Temperatures will remain below freezing across the mountains through the morning hours, rising above freezing this afternoon across the lower elevations. Temperatures across the higher elevations will likely remain near or below freezing through tonight, keeping slippery road conditions around. With temperatures expected to fall back below freezing across the lower elevations this evening into Wednesday morning, black ice could become a concern for the evening commute as well as the Wednesday morning commute depending on how much snow melts today. For the morning and evening commute, be prepared for slippery roads. Slow down and allow for plenty of space between yourself and other vehicles if snow covered or icy roads are encountered.
