South-Carolina
Round of heavy rains to continue on Monday across South Carolina
Heavy rain will continue to fall across South Carolina at the beginning of the week. Periods of heavy rain will continue to stream mainly south to north as a low-pressure system passes just to our west. The positioning of this low-pressure system is pulling lots of deep tropical moisture across the Palmetto State, which will stay producing the chance for flash floods throughout the day. Some showers will still linger around on Tuesday; therefore, a few spots may develop flooding again.
Another day with periods of heavy rains is in the forecast to start the work week. Make sure to avoid flooded roads, some isolated spots could reach high amounts, up to 6 inches. Please stay aware. pic.twitter.com/uLF3CFKVzV

Overall, we expect higher rainfall across Upstate and the Lowcountry. Across Upstate South Carolina, the rainfall will range between 2 and 4 inches, with some spots that could receive up to 5 inches isolated. Across the Lowcountry, rain totals will range between 2 and 4 inches, with some isolated spots accumulating up to 5 inches. The Midlands and the Pee Dee rainfall will vary between 1 and 3 inches. Some models hint at rain in the higher range across the northern portions of the Midlands.
Please avoid flooded roads. Remember, don’t drown. Six inches of water could cause your vehicle to stall, while six inches of standing water could cause it to float.
This rainfall could significantly reduce drought levels across South Carolina, especially along the coast. The next drought monitor update will be released on Thursday morning. We expect to see a big difference, as we’ve had a very slow-moving low-pressure system and a stationary front that has meandered and brought several rounds of rain since last Friday.
Expect the weather to improve by mid-week, with drier conditions across the state. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal for this time of year as a high-pressure system will be located to our east. By the end of the week, temperatures could reach the 90s statewide.

Just behind Charleston city hall sits Washington Square Park with its wrought iron gates, live oaks, and a smattering of Spanish moss. This was the city’s official square until 1881.
It’s also the backdrop of former, longtime Charleston Mayor Joe Riley’s new memoir, “Windows on Washington Square,” released Jan. 6th by Evening Post Books.
In a press release, the publisher promises a “rare, first-person account of how Charleston became the city we recognize today.”
Riley was 32 when he first took office on Dec. 15th, 1975. He’d told his wife he’d run for just one term.
But 10 terms later, a total of 40 years, Riley became one of the nation’s longest serving mayors.
He not only helped build the now bustling city but held its hand during intense periods of pain.
Riley’s memoir offers insight into some of Charleston darkest moments; the horror of Hurricane Hugo and the immeasurable grief following the hate-fueled massacre at Mother Emanuel AME Church.
The publisher says the memoir is revealing in “how a city holds itself together when the world is watching.”
The book also shares private moments with Riley’s two sons and his wife Charlotte, a steadfast confidant.
“He’s one of a kind,” said former Columbia Mayor Stephen Benjamin in a statement. “He is the gold standard that so many of us desired to be measured against.”
An official book launch event will be held at the Dock Street Theater later this month.
Now 82, Riley stepped down from office in January of 2016.
