A potent storm system moving east across South Carolina is increasing the risk of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding. The severe risk is highest in the Upstate late Saturday night into Sunday morning, with the potential for isolated tornadoes and flash flooding in the Midlands and coastal areas. Showers and storms will be entering the Midlands by Sunday morning and moving towards the Lowcountry and Pee Dee by mid-afternoon. The cold front pushing through the state will bring the risk of severe thunderstorms between late Saturday night and Sunday.
Given the dry soil conditions in the state, there is a chance of flash floods due to heavy rains not being able to drain properly. Upstate is expected to receive the highest rainfall, with isolated spots possibly getting over 6 inches. As we head into spring, the risk of severe weather outbreaks increases due to clashes between different air masses. Residents are advised to stay alert and prepared for changing weather conditions.
