I am elated to announce that I will be the newest Meteorologist at Live 5 News in Charleston, SC! I look forward to working with and learning from a prominent set of meteorologists and newscasters, and I'm excited to continue my journey in the Lowcountry!

TROPICS: Things are heating up in the Eastern #Pacific! As of Wednesday, @NHC_Pacific began issuing advisories on Tropical Storm #Amanda - the first named system in the basin this year. Additional disturbances may develop early next week offshore of #Mexico. #TSAmanda #Tropics

[Meteorologist Dorien Minor @MinorWX]

WEDNESDAY MORNING: You're going to wake up to temperatures that we have not seen since mid-May! As drier air filters in, temperatures will gradually bottom out in the 50s. Some sheltered locations (especially N/W of the Charleston Tri-County) could briefly dip into the 40s. #SCWX

Wednesday is going to be a beautiful day and we will all want to be outside as it’s been kind of dreary. But heads up, beachgoers. There is a HIGH risk of rip currents tomorrow! 🚩🌊 #scwx @Live5News

FIRST ALERT TRAFFIC (11 PM) - We have received tips about an accident on Cottageville Hwy (Hwy 17A) near the intersection of Jenkins Club Rd (Colleton). Additional information will be made available on @Live5News and @Live5Traffic as we learn more information. #CHSTRFC

FIRST ALERT: Wednesday morning's lows will feel more fall-like as a front continues to push southward! Most areas will see temperatures in the 50s (potentially cooler N/W of the Charleston Tri-County) early, followed by afternoon highs near 80°. #SCWX

[Meteorologist Dorien Minor @MinorWX]

ON THE ROADS: Prepare to leave out a few minutes early if you're headed to work! Although rainfall will not be as heavy as what was observed on Monday, a few showers - along with one or two steadier pockets - will be possible early. @Live5Weather @Live5News #SCWX #CHSWX
