  1. Partly cloudy today, high 83 (28 C).
  2. That's it for severe storms tonight in #CHS. Slight chance of showers overnight will give way to a pretty fantastic low-humidity weekend.
  3. Severe Thunderstorm Watch Cancelled for Berkeley, Charleston & Dorchester Counties.
  4. Rain will gradually clear the #CHS area over the next hour. Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect but may be canceled early.
  5. Plenty of moderate to heavy rain moving in Downtown now. Watch for ponding of water given proximity to high tide.
  6. Stronger storm at the tail end of the line heading to Johns and James Islands, Folly Beach… ur1.ca/9fdv0
  7. No severe weather warnings on the board in #CHS. Storms getting through will rain hard and have gusty winds with a little lightning.
  8. @AndyDenton Yep, seeing a bit of a weakening trend with most of these. Will get good rainfall and a couple gusts but not much else.
  9. Storms arriving in Mt. Pleasant within the next 15 minutes… RT @juliamelv: Gnarly clouds in mt. p. @chswx twitpic.com/9rqu52
  10. @prettygirlmegs Not much longer...
  11. Line of storms firing around Columbia behind current #CHS storms could be trouble later — watching trends: ur1.ca/9fdug
  12. Interested in flooding reports as well — we're coming down from a higher-than-normal astronomical tide so Downtown may be tricky.
  13. Hanahan, will be interested to see if you see any hail from these storms. Seeing some higher reflectivity values on radar heading your way.
  14. Very heavy downpour in West Ashley. Not much lightning to speak of though there are a couple strikes indicated near North Charleston.
  15. @LCWxDave @gpittman Agreed, but a pretty cool picture nonetheless.
  16. Another over Glenn McConnell. twitpic.com/9rqodo
  17. @gpittman I’d have to see it in person but that looks ominous…is it rotating?
