While it won’t rain every second or minute of the day, the overall theme of the day will be damp and gray. Occasional storms are likely through early this evening. A few storms may produce strong, gusty winds and heavy (albeit, needed) rainfall.
FIRST ALERT: Marine conditions will be poor on Thursday as a slow-moving front moves into the Lowcountry! In addition to an elevated rip current risk, “Small Craft Advisories” are in place for the nearshore waters south of the Santee River as gusts look to exceed 25 MPH. #SCWXpic.twitter.com/oco9HzTWCZ
