FUTURE TRACKER: Scattered downpours are continuing to crop up across the Lowcountry this evening, mainly impacting our inland counties! Locally heavy rainfall is possible through 9 PM, followed by light showers through early Saturday morning. #SCWX #CHSWX

FIRST ALERT (9:40 PM) - A belt of moderate to heavy rainfall is setting up across the I-95 corridor. Parts of Dorchester and eastern Orangeburg Counties should see the highest rainfall totals. Central Orangeburg County remains in a "Flood Advisory" until 11 PM. #SCWX

TROPICS - Friday Night: #PTC9 has not yet formed a concise area of low pressure, which could cause additional adjustments in the forecast track! Recent trends are beginning to stray away from a landfall by midweek due to a weaker influence from our upper-level low. #SCWX #Tropics

TOP 3 IMPACTS: #PTC9 will become better organized as it lifts northward towards the Lowcountry, bringing a risk of heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts and coastal impacts. Fluctuations in the forecast can, and will, occur as forecast models begin to align. #Tropics #SCWX

Here's the latest track of what will become Imelda. Models this morning tend to keep the storm offshore and slow down the speed. Humberto could pull this system east, which could prevent the system from moving onshore. Heavy rain, storm surge and high wind are all still possible.

There has been a shift east with computer guidance this morning. However, many models show the system slowing down before being pulled east due to Humberto early next week. Regardless if the system makes landfall or not, we still have a potential to see heavy rain and gusty wind.

Tropical Depression 9 will likely become Tropical Storm Imelda this weekend. With Humberto expected to be a strong hurricane & the upper level low weakening, am models keep the system offshore. How close it gets along with the speed will determine our impacts on Monday/Tuesday.

FIRST ALERT// Tropical Update // Good news on the models and trends to keep what will become Imelda off the coast. Some impacts are still expected with possible heavy rainfall, gusty winds and dangerous surf. We will keep you posted.

Tropical Depression Nine will become Tropical Storm Imelda today. Model guidance continues to show a sharp easterly turn prior to moving into our area. We will still feel some impacts from this system Mon/Tue, but far less significant compared to a direct landfall.

FIRST ALERT: Very low impacts from Imelda! Thankfully, we expect Tropical Storm Imelda to begin a sharp turn to the east in about 24 hours, leading the storm to pass well offshore. Imelda will bring the chance of scattered rain and breezy conditions for the next 24 hours.

FIRST ALERT: Tropical Storm Imelda is strengthening as it moves north through the Bahamas. A wind gust of 83 mph was recently recorded in Treasure Cay, Bahamas. A favorable turn to the NE and E should begin later today and overnight. No significant impacts are expected!

A Rare Event! Two tropical systems so close together. You don't see this too often. Thanks to Humberto on the right... it will help pull Imelda on the left... out to sea! Good news for the east coast.

After nearly 5 years at WCSC, I am embarking on a new opportunity. I am proud to announce that I have accepted a Meteorologist position at WJXT (News4JAX) in Jacksonville, Florida. I am excited to begin a new chapter and can't wait to explore the First Coast!

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave that has a high (80%) chance of development over the next week. The system is forecast to slow down significantly and enter an environment favoriable for development. The next name on the list is Melissa.

Tropical Storm Melissa has formed over the central Caribbean Sea. This system will slow down significantly later this week and will bring significant rainfall to Hispanola. Melissa will likely become a hurricane this weekend. The speed and track beyond the weekend is uncertain.

Melissa is tied for the third strongest storm in the Atlantic basin. The pressure of the system at landfall was 892 mb, which ties it as the strongest landfalling storm on record in the Atlantic basin. It's the first category 5 storm to make landfall in the Atlantic this decade.

A few spotty showers will be possible overnight thanks to an approaching system. Most of the rain will remain to our north across Gerogia and the Carolinas.

A FREEZE WATCH has been issued for part of our area from late Monday night through Tuesday morning. Temperatures will drop into the 20s to low 30s in the shaded areas. Make sure to take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.

The coldest air of the season is on the way! We are forecasting the wind chill to drop into the 20s tonight. If the wind chill at JAX reaches 20 degrees, the day would likely end up in the 10 coldest on record in the month of November, and the coldest since Nov. 19, 2014.

Jacksonville International dropped to 28 degrees early this morning, which makes it the first freeze of the season. This is the fourth earliest freeze on record.
