South Carolina and North Carolina’s Full Winter Forecast
The South Carolina and North Carolina winter forecasts are here from weather experts, and if you’re in the area all winter, you’re likely curious about what to expect. Fall is a beautiful season, with cool, crisp nights, deep sunsets and vibrant foliage. But, right after fall, comes winter. I don’t like cold temperatures at all, so the warmer, the better in my book. More than anything, I don’t like winters that drag on and on and prefer an early spring. Here’s what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says about what to expect for this winter.
South Carolina and North Carolina Winter Forecast
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its latest winter forecast for the 2024-25 season, and it’s an interesting one. Most of the country, according to the forecast, is on target to be likely warmed this coming winter, but a small part of the U.S. will be notably colder. Thankfully, that area isn’t close, as it’s in the northwestern part of the country, mainly the state of Washington. As for moisture, about half of the country is set to have more moisture than normal while the other half is looking at drier conditions. So, most areas of the country are looking to see at least temperatures or moisture different than what the National Weather Service considers normal.
It’s worth adding that the Farmer’s Almanac, in general, predicts temperatures up and snowfall down for most of the country this season. “This winter, temperatures will be up and snowfall down throughout most of the United States,” Carol Connare, the Almanac’s editor-in-chief, said. “While there will still be plenty of chilly temperatures and snow for most slopes, the high heating costs associated with the season shouldn’t hit so hard.” Connare added that they’re predicting “temperate, uneventful winter—potentially a welcome reprieve from the extremes of recent years.” I like the sound of that.
So, for the South Carolina and North Carolina winter forecast, both states are looking at a 60%-70% chance of above normal temperatures. The states actually have among the warmest predictions in the country. As for precipitation, in both South Carolina and North Carolina are predicted to have drier conditions this winter, with the southern parts of the states looking at the driest. So, most of the states will be looking at a lower chance of snow. The tip of South Carolina and western part of North Carolina, however, are looking at normal precipitation levels for the winter.
