CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - It may be a new month but it’s the same old weather. More sunshine, more warm temperatures and more need for a soaking rainfall. None of those are going to change any time soon. Expect a sunny day today with highs in the mid 80s inland, 70s at the beaches. A weak cold front will slowly push through the Southeast over the upcoming days attempting to bring rainfall to the Lowcountry. First up will be a small chance of a shower or thunderstorm late Friday.
Scattered showers and storms expected today!
