FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: Ice, sleet and snow make for a rough Saturday commute

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Snow continues to move in from the northwest this morning, bringing a changeover to many locations in the Pee Dee and even inland Horry County. As we head closer to sunrise, expect precipitation to come to an end and the problems on the roadways to continue.

With an overachieving event in the snow category Friday, expect temperatures to be cooler today for highs due to the snow pack in place. Highs will struggle regardless of where you are today. We will just barely get above freezing inland THIS AFTERNOON. In the Grand Strand, that moment should take place around lunchtime with highs reaching the mid-upper 30s in Horry County. If you have to be out this afternoon, take your time on the backroads. Main roads should begin to look better by the late morning and middle of the day.
