FORECAST:

• It’s much colder today with temperatures in the 20s and 30s this morning.
• High temperatures will struggle to reach 50 degrees.
• Winds are much lower than yesterday and will continue to fade through this afternoon and evening.
• Even with the improvements to the wind, it will still be very dry today, so burning is not recommended as fires could quickly spread.
• South Carolina also has a statewide burn ban in place as large wildfires continue to impact the Myrtle Beach area.
• Temperatures will improve through the work week with quiet conditions to start.
• Our next storm system arrives Wednesday morning, bringing rain for the morning commute and the potential for a few storms.
• The early timing will help keep bigger severe weather concerns to our east, but we’ll continue to monitor that timing in case it shifts a little later.
