Our next system arrives with a cold front that slowly works through the area LATE Thursday and Friday. This will bring widespread showers starting later in the afternoon for the Pee Dee on Thursday and into the Grand Strand by Thursday evening. With the slower movement of this front, we’ll keep showers around for most of the day on Friday with cloudy skies and rain around.
