Showers have arrived in the Lowcountry and will be hanging around through much of Friday into early Saturday as a cold front lumbers through the area. We certainly could use the rain as severe drought continues over the Lowcountry, and 1-1.5″ of rain should fall in most spots through Saturday morning.

Lows on Friday will run on the warm side of normal; expect generally mid-50s across the area, while highs peak near normal in the mid-60s.

The weekend will be quieter as the cold front finally gets offshore. We could see a few showers hanging around Saturday morning, but that should do it for rain for a couple days. Cloud cover will hang on, though, and that will limit afternoon highs to the upper 60s after starting around 50°. Sunday starts cooler but ends up warmer under increasingly sunny skies; we start Sunday in the mid-to-upper 40s, warming back to the 70s during the afternoon. A cooldown will follow another cold front on Monday, with a wedge pattern keeping us on the cool side of normal to start the first week of March.
