Warming shelters open Friday night

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – It was a very cold start to Friday with temperatures in the 20s and 30s, but we’ll warm into the 40s for most areas and near 50 along the beaches.

Some areas of the tri-county briefly saw a mix of winter weather including sleet, freezing rain, and some slow flurries; however, that wintry mix will quickly turn over to cold rain for the remainder of the day.
