Discussion

Low pressure that formed near the Carolina coastline has pushed inland in the overnight hours to a position over upstate South Carolina. Its rain shield is making some progress up the coast., but high pressure to the northeast is limiting its northward push. The threat of showers will increase here by late tonight and continue through mid-week; however, total rainfall amounts may be quite limited in this area due to the overall blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere.
