A slow-moving storm system positioned near the Gulf Coast is set to bring rain and thunderstorms to Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry over the weekend. The area of low pressure will linger for several days, with a counter-clockwise flow drawing moisture across Florida and into the Southeast, resulting in multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms.
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday have been designated as WJCL Impact Days. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected on Saturday, with the possibility of heavy downpours from any storms that develop. The most significant rain chances are forecast from Sunday into Monday, although there will be several dry hours throughout each day.
The primary concern during this period is localized street flooding due to heavy rainfall, with totals possibly reaching between 2 to 4 inches by early next week. Fortunately, the overall risk of severe storms remains low, though gusty winds may accompany any stronger storms.
The Weather Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of excessive rainfall for Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry from Sunday into early Monday, indicating a potential for flash flooding in some areas. Alerts will be provided if any flood advisories or flash flood warnings are announced.
