TOMORROW

We start the week with cooler temperatures thanks to that Mother’s Day cold front. Temperatures will be in the 60s Monday morning with partly cloudy skies and we’ll eventually warm up in the low 70s. Rain chances remain low, however that cold front has stalled to our south and it will produce enough moisture an isolated shower.

WEEK AHEAD

Another weak cold front will pass through our area on Tuesday, this will bring a broken line of showers and storms Tuesday afternoon. This will not bring any severe weather but it will keep our temperatures cooler in the low 70s. Once we get into midweek, a high pressure system builds and this will bring back warm temperatures in the upper 70s in the Grand Strand and mid 80s inland.
