A summary of the latest briefing from the National Weather Service (NWS) Wilmington is below.

February 19, 2025, 3:47 p.m. NWS-Wilmington Update:

Freezing rain is expected to bring some accumulations of ice across portions of northeast SC and southeast NC as rain changes to freezing rain from north to south Wednesday evening. The freezing rain and icing will result in hazardous driving conditions, especially across bridges, overpasses, and other elevated road surfaces. An arctic air-mass will overspread the region, bringing very cold temperatures to the area, especially Thursday night and Friday night. Protect people, pets, pipes, and plants from the cold. Thursday night will feel colder than Friday night due to wind chill.

The forecast is calling for potential winter weather that has the potential to create dangerous travel conditions and lead to power outages. Town of Leland Public Safety officials encourage community members to be prepared, stay safe, and keep the following safety tips in mind:

  • Stay home and off the roads.
  • If you must go out, slow down, give space, assume anything that looks wet is ice, and be extra cautious on bridges and overpasses.
  • Be aware that four-wheel drive isn’t effective on ice.
  • Keep devices charged.
  • Build or update your emergency supply kit.
  • Don’t put generators inside your home. Keep them outside due to carbon monoxide.
  • Be prepared for long-duration power outages.
  • Trim weak or damaged branches around your home.
  • Don’t leave vehicle wipers raised.
  • Don’t park your car under trees.

Residents are encouraged to examine their preparedness plans and be ready should they need to implement those plans.
