Weekend Weather Watch: Storms on the Way

The weekend is shaping up to be a bit stormy. A weather alert has been issued for Saturday, with scattered thunderstorms expected. This is all thanks to an approaching cold front. It is moving in slowly, so it will take its time to arrive. The weather forecast for today is warm and slightly humid. Temperatures will reach the upper 80s. Later in the day, there might be a few isolated showers and storms. However, these will be brief since the front hasn't reached the area yet. Saturday is when things will get more interesting. The cold front will finally arrive, bringing with it a good chance of rain and thunderstorms. These storms are expected to start in the late afternoon and continue through the evening and overnight hours. The Storm Prediction Center has put all of South Carolina under a Level 1 of 5 risk for severe storms. This means there is a small chance that some of these storms could produce strong winds or hail. This is not a high-risk situation, but it is something to keep an eye on. The slow-moving front means that rain and thunder will linger into Sunday. It won't be as stormy as Saturday, but there will still be a few showers and storms around. The rest of the week looks mostly sunny with temperatures in the low to mid-80s. For Sunday, expect a few lingering showers and storms in the morning, with some clearing in the afternoon. Temperatures will be around 80 degrees. The week ahead looks mostly sunny with temperatures in the low to mid-80s.
