The cold front will likely push through the state. However, it will also lose its speed as it retracts as a stationary front. On Tuesday, a warm front will follow. This warm front will be part of another low-pressure system, exiting the Rockies on Wednesday morning. Expect the winds to continue mainly from the south-southeast throughout the next week, keeping the warmth in place over the Palmetto state.

The next chance for showers and isolated storms is Wednesday as the warm front moves from the southwest to the northeast.
