CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – Lingering showers will slowly taper off overnight, but the risk for strong to severe thunderstorms remains in place to start the work week!

TOP 3 HEADLINES:
- Low clouds and patchy fog are possible for the Monday morning commute.
- Strong to severe storms remain on track to approach the Lowcountry between 4-8 PM; strong winds and brief downpours are the primary risks.
- Temperatures turn very warm starting midweek with daily highs spanning the mid to upper 80s inland. Record-challenging warmth is expected Friday and Saturday.
