Storm Team 3: Heat Advisory Monday & Strong Storms Possible

The heat was on today with heat indices hitting 110° at times for much of the area.

More of the same is expected Monday with a Heat Advisory in effect from 12 PM – 8 PM for most of the area.

Relief came from a cluster of storms tracking mostly along and north of I-16.

One cell was severe-warned with tree damage reported in Candler County & winds gusted to 50 mph in other areas.

Another very warm and humid night will settle in with temperatures struggling to cool below 80°.

Skies will clear out somewhat but another humid start is expected for Monday.

The start of the week will bring yet another dangerously hot day.

Temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s, with added humidity possibly pushing heat index values to 110° or slightly above for certain areas.

Storms are possible again in the afternoon with rain chances up to 30%.

The potential for strong to severe storms is there due to the plentiful heat & humidity. 

Besides frequent lightning and heavy rainfall, the primary concern for any severe storms will be damaging straight-line wind gusts from downdrafts.

High pressure loosens its grip on the region, which will lead to seasonal daily storm chances and more-typical heat and humidity.

Expect milder mornings in the mid-70s, afternoon temperatures in the low-90s feeling like 100°-105°, and scattered storms.

The tropics feature no threats for the Coastal Empire & Lowcountry.

Invest 94-L is situated 900 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles but is currently disorganized and has a limited opportunity to develop before facing adverse conditions in the Caribbean.
