Here is our Tuesday (6-2) Hour by Hour Forecast…after seeing quite a bit of rainfall on Mon, today will be overall drier.
There is a little bump in the chance of rain late morning and early afternoon, so we will be watching radar trends.
Cooler today, with highs in the 70’s
Heavy rainfall moving into an area which received significant rainfall earlier today, in addition to a high tide, has prompted the issuance of a Flash Flood Warning for parts of Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston Counties.

Some life news. I have officially retired from the NWS. It was time to move on. I haven’t completely left the field as I will be teaching for the College of Charleston this fall, but no more shift work!
Radar Update as of 2:30pm Saturday shows a few showers and thunderstorms are moving from the midlands toward the coast this Saturday afternoon. Most of us will stay dry, but we will see a few heavier downpours in the next few hours.
