Weather Aware Weekend: Strong and severe storms are possible
Saturday and Sunday will be Storm Team 3 Weather Aware days due to a medium risk for strong and severe storms in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. We are tracking a disturbance that stretches across the southeastern U.S., as of Friday night. This system is forecast to send multiple rounds of storms into our area over the weekend. Temperatures will reach the low to mid 90s both days with heat index values over 100°F at times. Hot and humid conditions mean there will be plenty of energy for storms to become strong and severe. Saturday's storms will begin to set up in the later afternoon and will continue into the later evening. In general, isolated storms are expected between 2 and 6 p.m. More numerous storms are expected develop between 8 and 11 p.m. which will move across the area from west to east. Sunday's set up will be similar with storms moving across the area from west to east. However, the timing for storms will be earlier than what is expected on Saturday. Strong storms will begin to move into our western counties just after noon and will continue through about 5 p.m., with the strongest moving off of the coast at that time. Storms on Sunday will begin just after lunchtime and will continue into the very early evening with the strongest storms moving off of the coast by 6 p.m. and just after. Severe storms this weekend will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts over 60 mph. This will be our primary concern. Wind gusts may lead to tree damage and some power outages. Heavy rainfall will also be an issue at times, leading to localized flooding in areas with poor drainage. Rainfall totals will be between 1-2″ across much of the area. It is a good idea to think about what you would to in the even that a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is issued for your area. Have a plan to get indoors and to the lowest level of a sturdy structure away from windows and doors. You also need a reliable way to receive critical weather alerts. A NOAA Weather Radio is a great tool to have in your home or place of work. They are dependable, even when the power and cellular service may be disrupted.

This will lead to more scattered rain and some isolated thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and into the evening. Heavy rainfall is expected at times Thursday afternoon and evening. Localized rain totals may be between 1-2″ with the highest totals being along the coast or just inland. Western counties, more toward middle Georgia, will receive less rain. A strong southerly to onshore flow will continue to lead to dangerous surf and rip currents for Georgia and South Carolina beaches. If you are heading out on a smaller watercraft, exercise cautions as seas will be around 3-5.' Winds offshore will be SW 10-20 kts. A slightly drier pattern will begin to set up on Friday and will continue into Saturday. Afternoon highs will be able to reach the low to mid 90s both days which may lead to isolated strong to severe storms late Friday and again on Saturday. At this time, damaging wind gusts will be the main concern. An unsettled pattern will begin to set up on Sunday with slightly higher rain chances staying with us.
