A tropical system is forecasted to make landfall Monday on South Carolina’s coast.
Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight continues to organize off South Carolina’s coast.
The low pressure does not have enough tropical features right now, but it could be upgraded to a tropical storm. If it is upgraded to a tropical storm, it will be named Helene, making it the eighth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
Monday, the low is forecasted to make landfall south of Myrtle Beach.
After landfall, the system will continue to move NW, pulling rain into Ohio and as far north as Southern New England.
The storm will continue to cause rough surf, heavy rains that may lead to flooding, and tropical-storm-force winds over 40 mph. The National Hurricane Center issued Tropical Storm Warnings along coastal South and North Carolina.
As for the Gulf Coast tropical development chances, there no areas of concerns.

South Carolina announces signing of Ball State DB transfer Myles Norwood
South Carolina got a boost to its secondary for the 2025 season from the MAC of all conferences, as the Gamecocks announced the signing of defensive back Myles Norwood on Thursday.
The 6-foot-1, 183-pounder from St. Louis transferred from Ball State, so next fall he’ll be taking a significant step up in competition after deciding to test his talents in the SEC.
According to On3, Norwood’s final 2 choices came down to South Carolina and Kentucky, and Norwood chose Columbia over Lexington.
The junior had 38 tackles, 22 of them solo, with 2 tackles-for-loss, 10 pass breakups and a fumble recovery for the Cardinals in 2024. According to Pro Football Focus, Norwood earned a solid coverage grade of 71.8 across 456 snaps in 12 games for Ball State. The majority of his snaps were at outside cornerback, with 48 snaps coming at the nickel position — 35 of which came in 1 game.
Kentucky has several defensive backs leaving for the NFL Draft or the transfer portal, so the Wildcats really could’ve used Norwood but instead saw him go to an SEC rival school.
Norwood should be an important piece of South Carolina’s secondary in 2025 after working his way into Ball State’s rotation quickly.

South Carolina Lands Ball State Transfer Cornerback
The Gamecocks return to the transfer portal this time landing a commitment from Ball State transfer cornerback Myles Norwood, On3’s Pete Nakos reports.
Norwood is a former JUCO product that began his collegiate career at Iowa State before landing at Ball State and ultimately South Carolina. His addition to the room is needed after the Gamecocks are expected to lose players due to eligibility reasons. The 6-foot-1 and 183 pounder out of St. Louis, Missouri had five passes defensed in 2024 to go along with two forced fumbles and 38 total tackles.
Norwood is the seventh transfer addition to South Carolina following the Christmas Eve addition of Western Kentucky offensive lineman Rodney Newsom.
