Bryan County Emergency Services Director Freddy Howell said today it appears Bryan County will miss the worst of ice and snow from Winter Storm Pax. 

There could still be some impact in North Bryan, however. With rain in the forecast and temperatures expected to drop near or below freezing, the National Weather Service has issued a freezing rain advisory for Pembroke which is in effect until 10 a.m. Thursday. The NWS calls for rain or freezing rain tonight, with freezing rain after 3 a.m. Thursday morning. Ice accumulation of less than 0.1 of an inch is possible, the NWS says. 

There remains a chance of freezing rain in Pembroke until 8 a.m. Thurday, then rain showers before it begins to clear up and warm up a bit. The high Thursday is supposed to be 52. 

 Richmond Hill is currently under no weather advisories from the National Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to drop to a low of 35 tonight and there's a 100 percent chance of rain with accumulation of up to three quarters of an inch possible. It'll gradually warm up tomorrow to a high of 52, with a 40 percent chance of rain.

By Friday, temperatures in Bryan County should be back in the 60s, the NWS say. 

Those who are traveling in Georgia or South Carolina should use caution in areas north and west of Bryan County. Bridges and overpasses can ice up and be dangerous to drive on. Patchy ice is also possible on untreated roads, the NWS says.
