Severe Weather Expected Across Southeast as Weekend Approaches
As the week draws to a close, the Southeast, particularly South Carolina, is bracing for an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity. A low-pressure system moving into the region from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to create conditions ripe for instability and heavy rainfall.
On Thursday, residents should prepare for the possibility of isolated severe storms, particularly from late morning into the afternoon, impacting the Midlands and coastal areas. By evening, additional storms could spread across the Upstate and Lowcountry, with damaging winds and hail being significant threats.
The instability will persist into Friday, continuing the risk of severe weather across the state, characterized by thunderstorms bringing damaging winds of at least 60 mph and hail. Coastal areas, particularly in the Lowcountry, are projected to experience heavier rainfall.
Looking ahead, a low-pressure system could further enhance moisture flow into the Southeast, increasing the likelihood of rain and storms early next week. This uptick in precipitation offers a glimmer of hope in alleviating ongoing drought conditions in South Carolina, with updates on the drought situation expected from the US Drought Monitor next Thursday. Residents are advised to stay tuned for weather updates.
