We’re once again in the gloom with periods of heavy rain moving through the area this afternoon. This is good, though, as these clouds and rain are reinforcing the inland cold air damming wedge which, in turn, is keeping a warm front from advancing too far north into the Lowcountry. All this to say that the severe weather threat, which was never terribly high in the Charleston metro to begin with, remains rather marginal. If the warm front does sneak a little further north than projected, the risk for damaging wind gusts would come up some. The best risk for any severe storms today remains southwest of us in Georgia.

The main issue today, especially inland of 17-A, will be the potential for flooding in spots. Some areas have already received 2-3” of rain in the I-95 corridor with more to come through tomorrow. Closer to the coast, the forecast continues to call for 1-2” through tomorrow with locally higher amounts.

As always, I’ve got an eye on it. Keep an ear out in case conditions change quickly, but so far, so good.

We’re back into the rain on Thursday as another storm system affects the area. Expect periods of showers and storms at any time throughout the day, and be ready for the potential for a couple storms to be strong.

I hope everyone enjoyed the outbreak of sunshine today! It was nice to see temperatures rebound into the mid-60s across the area with nearly cloudless skies for much of the day.

Unfortunately, our unsettled weather pattern remains in place, and today’s respite will be short-lived as clouds build back into the area during the day Wednesday, with shower chances increasing after sunset.

After a stormy Monday night caps off a rather dreary weekend, Tuesday is looking a lot better with at least a brief reprieve from the rain. Clouds will be scouring out in the wake of the front swinging through, and we should be mostly sunny by afternoon. Temperatures will rise quite nicely into the low 60s, which will feel downright blazing compared to the low 40s we found ourselves stuck in over the weekend. Unfortunately, this reprieve will be short-lived as rain chances return to the forecast Wednesday. We’ll take it a day at a time, though, and enjoy tomorrow!
