COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – The concern for localized flooding to possibly develop Saturday due to slow-moving strong storms has prompted a First Alert Weather Day.
First Alert Headlines:
- Scattered showers and storms possible today.
- Saturday is a First Alert Weather Day.
- Storm chances continue through the holiday weekend.
First Alert Summary:
Today begins a pattern of unsettled weather that will continue into next week. While a spotty shower or two is possible this morning, scattered showers and storms are expected this afternoon.
While we’ll have multiple opportunities for showers and thunderstorms through the Memorial Day weekend, we could receive the bulk of our rainfall on Saturday. Slow-moving strong storms will likely allow for heavy rain over the same area, potentially leading to localized flooding in isolated spots.
Stay weather-aware next several days, especially Saturday. Not only will some of these stronger storms be capable of heavy downpours, but lightning will make it dangerous to be outdoors.
Saturday’s storm coverage will be widespread with scattered showers and storms possible each day for the rest of the holiday weekend.
First Alert Forecast:
Today: Mostly cloudy with a few afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Chance of rain 40%. Highs in the upper-80s…
