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
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
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 80Β°. #SCWX
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
