Significant winter storm to impact the Southeast, bringing an ice storm to many areas

A significant winter storm is expected to impact the Southeast the weekend of Jan. 24, 2026, bringing an ice storm to many areas, according to the latest weather models. The European model indicates snow in the Midwest and an icy mess from the Southeast, including the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama. This model predicts significant ice beginning Saturday evening and continuing through Sunday, with about 18 hours of continuous ice accumulation, not mixed with snow or sleet, leading to high ice totals before moving out on Monday, followed by very cold air. The European model suggests snow accumulation of over a foot in some areas, particularly from Middle Tennessee into Kentucky. However, there are no certainties, as the system could still track south. Currently, a mixture of conditions is expected, with the European model indicating a significant ice storm, potentially the worst in over a decade, since 2014. The GFS model presents a more moderate scenario, predicting some snow beginning Saturday morning, mixed with sleet in the upstate, transitioning to freezing rain, even in the mountains. This long-duration event is expected to continue through Sunday night. The GFS model forecasts snow mainly north of I-40 in North Carolina, with significant icing and sleet, and freezing rain falling heavily across Greenville and Spartanburg, with up to 6 inches of sleet and snow. The storm's track will determine the exact conditions, with a middle track currently appearing most likely, which would result in the highest ice potential. Additionally, a low-pressure system could bring wind gusts up to 40 mph, increasing the risk of widespread power outages. #ice #icestorm #snowstorm #winterstorm #storm #winter #snow #fyp #closures #cold #freezing #update #SouthCarolina #NorthCarolina #Asheville #Greenville #Upstate #WNC #prep #weekend #forecast #Atlanta #Georgia #alert #tennessee #knoxville #outage #power #sleet
