Next Hurricane?, Severe Weather Threat, & Today's Foreacast

Today's Forecast

Today we will mostly likely see showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Right now (as of 8:39 am), there are some showers up toward Charleston, SC. They will continue to bring a lightning show to the residents of Coastal Charleston county.

There are also a few showers streaming toward the north around the area. So, there is a chance of an isolated shower throughout the morning hours. But, mainly on the island, we will see not rain until this afternoon with daytime heating.

Today's forecast is calling for scattered showers and thunderstorms by the afternoon at around a 60% chance. Today's high will be in the mid - upper eighties on the island and lower ninties inland, mainly west of I-95.

We could also have some isolated strong to severe thunderstorms around the area. So, be sure to stay tuned to the Skidaway Island Weather Center for the latest information.

Also, remember to buy a NOAA Weather Radio as they come in handy during severe weather and hurricane events.

Hurricane Outlook

We might have our next hurricane of the season. Some of the long range models, well, one of the long range models the Candian Model is showing that a strong low pressure will devlop in the bahamas later this coming week, around mid week.

At this time, only one model is showing this to develop, the CMC, like I said above. The picture below shows the model run image 132 hours out:



Models out this long usually aren't very reliable. But, the Canadian model was the only model to pick up Tropical Storm Berry before any other model did.
