Future Radar Shows Strongest Activity Near 5 PM Thursday
According to high-resolution future radar guidance, a well-defined line of rain and storms will stretch from the Gulf Coast through the Southeast by around 5 PM EST on Thursday.
Areas from Tallahassee to Valdosta, Macon, Augusta, Columbia, and Charleston are likely to see the most concentrated rainfall.
Forecasters note that while this is not expected to be a severe outbreak, some communities could still experience brief thunderstorms, gusty winds, and heavy bursts of rainfall as the front pushes through.
Storm Line Moves Overnight Into the Coastal Carolinas
By late Thursday night, the system is projected to continue eastward, bringing rain and occasional storms to coastal regions such as Wilmington, Myrtle Beach, and Charleston.
