The hot and stormy pattern will continue into the weekend for the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Sub-tropical moisture continues to flow into the southeast due to a strong Bermuda high. This deeper moisture will lead to scattered rain and storms. Rainfall rates will be in excess of 1-2″ per hour at times, leading to localized flooding concerns in areas with poor drainage. The best timing for storms on Saturday and Sunday will be between noon and the early evening, during the peak heating hours.
