As of Friday morning, snow is expected to be possible in Savannah on Saturday, with current forecasts showing light accumulation across the area. Estimates range from about half an inch to as much as two inches, though totals will depend on how the system ultimately tracks.
Snowfall in Savannah is rare, and the possibility of seeing it for a second winter in a row makes this weekend stand out. Last year, parts of the area picked up around two inches, something many longtime residents had not experienced in years.
Not everyone will see snow, and if it does fall, it is expected to be intermittent and short-lived, mainly during the day on Saturday before tapering off by Saturday night. Any accumulation would most likely stick to grassy surfaces, though a brief heavier burst could temporarily coat roads in spots.
The colder air arriving behind the system may be the bigger impact. Temperatures are expected to drop sharply Saturday night, with lows near 20 degrees early Sunday morning with feel like temps as low as 5 degrees. Daytime highs on Sunday are forecast to remain very cold by Savannah standards, staying in the 30s.
This update reflects conditions as of Friday morning, and forecasts can still change. Residents should plan for colder than normal weather and monitor updates as the weekend approaches.
