After a raucous night with Tropical Storm Elsa, we find ourselves in a lull this morning as the storm lifts quickly away to the northeast. Winds are slackening and we are drying out after a very soggy night — 4” is on the low end of rain totals around parts of the Charleston metro area. I’ll discuss more of Elsa’s aftermath later today as damage is assessed and additional rain totals come in.

For now, though, we get a bit of a break, but showers and thunderstorms are expected to fire back up this afternoon as a little energy aloft ripples through and induces some additional development with a little daytime heating. The good news is that additional severe weather is not expected. Rainfall amounts should generally be around a quarter-inch.

Highs top out in the mid-80s; the humidity will make it feel in the 90s.
