A weak cold front will slip into the region late in the day Wednesday. Humidity increasing ahead of the front will lead to scattered showers and storms developing during the afternoon and evening. No widespread rain or severe weather is expected with rain chances at 40%.

Temperatures will continue to be quite warm with lower 80s across the Grand Strand and middle to upper 80s inland.

As the front pushes to our south, cooler temperatures will filter in for Thursday and Friday. Right now, that front looks to stall just to our south across the Low Country, keeping just enough moisture off the coast for the chance of an isolated shower and mostly cloudy skies both Thursday and Friday.

The best risk of rain arrives Wednesday.
