Today we will see an increase in clouds as Hurricane Ian moves into South Carolina today. Temperatures will be a couple of degrees cooler due to more clouds and a light onshore wind.

The remnants of Ian will likely cause rain in our area on Saturday with still a chance of showers on Sunday. Temperatures will be cool and the wind will become gusty especially over the coastal areas. Rainfall amounts will be one to one and half inches.

Still unsettled weather as the upper low associated with Ian will cause cloudy skies with a chance of rain at least through Tuesday.

Somewhat milder Wednesday and Thursday with more sunshine.
