Severe weather threat tapers off, but heavy rainfall still possible

Jared Smith / April 23, 2020 at 5:53 PM

As many of us had hoped for, the risk for severe weather was overtaken by stable, steady rain moving in across the Lowcountry this afternoon. There are still some rumbles of thunder, and certainly some decent rainfall in spots, but the risk for damaging wind gusts and tornadoes has ended in the Lowcountry.

A severe weather threat we will be awake for, at least

Our active severe weather season continues with another risk of damaging wind gusts and perhaps a tornado or two this afternoon into the evening hours. (At least we will be awake for this one — in 2020, you take the wins you can get.)
