SOUTH CAROLINA — A Weather Impact Alert has been issued for Tuesday as much of the state faces a heightened risk of heavy rainfall and localized flooding, particularly in the central and southern Midlands and coastal regions.
According to forecasts shared by the WLTX Weather Team, the greatest flooding threat is expected in the afternoon and evening hours. Isolated downpours may begin earlier in the day, with moisture surging across the Southeast.

The Weather Prediction Center has placed all of South Carolina under an “excess rainfall outlook,” with a marginal to slight risk of flooding rainfall depending on location. Areas along the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) and the coast are especially vulnerable to downpours.
