Storm Team 3: Tracking Showers/Storms & The Tropics For the 4th of July
Share this @internewscast.com

Happy 4th!

Stray passing showers and occasional rumbles of thunder are possible at times through the morning. 

This afternoon, the probability of rain increases from 20% to 30% as daytime heating and additional passing cells persist. Much of this activity is not expected to move west of I-95 until later in the day.

Aside from the rain prospects, today will be quite hot, with temperatures in the low to mid-90s, feeling like 100°-103°. Be sure to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun.

Expect rain chances to trend down to 20% or less by sunset and fireworks to go off without any major hiccups.

TROPICS

As we approach the weekend, winds will start to increase from the east and northeast. Our region, positioned between a developing tropical system and strengthening high pressure to our west, will experience breezy weather this weekend.

A broad area of low pressure has developed to our southeast. The National Hurricane Center has given the area a 60% chance of developing into a tropical depression or named storm. Thunderstorm activity and a low pressure center are becoming more defined as the morning progresses.

Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters will investigate the system later this Friday. We will continue to update you on the progression of this system.

Impacts for the Coastal Empire & Lowcountry look to remain indirect at this time. Whatever develops will be a weak, lopsided system with the bulk of thunderstorms & high winds remaining out to sea.

Do be mindful of rip currents at the beach for the next several days. High surf and longshore currents will also become an issue. Stay out of the water if told to do so and heed all orders from lifeguards.

A LOOK AHEAD

Rain chances dwindle as high pressure will build in next week. Heat will become a major concern as above-average afternoon temperatures coupled with increasing humidity will create potentially dangerous heat index values.
