Headlines of the first warning

· There will be some storms in the south this afternoon.

· Less humid and slightly cooler to start the week.

· Hot and humid again on the holiday weekend.

Summary of the first warning

Good morning! The cold front that caused yesterday’s showers and storms continued to move south while we slept. As the day progresses, this frontal boundary will continue to move south, unleashing another wave of storms this afternoon. A Level 1 of 5 Slight Threat of Thunderstorms has been issued for the Lowcountry, where wind gusts of 60 MPH are possible.

The greatest chance of rain today is along I-95 and in the southern Midlands. Thanks to our passing cold front, it will be a little cooler and less humid this afternoon! Daytime highs will reach just above 30 degrees.

Our frontal passage will keep the air a little cooler and less humid mid-week! Highs will only reach the mid-80s on Tuesday. Try to take advantage of the cooler air because before you know it, triple-digit heat and humidity will return to the Carolinas.
