It's September, usually a busy month for tropical systems. The African monsoon is the factory of tropical waves, and the Atlantic Basin is all fair game!

The Atlantic basin hurricane season is experiencing its quietest peak in more than 30 years, with dry air and stable atmospheric conditions limiting storm formation. Forecasters warn that late-season activity could still produce a hurricane threat for the U.S.

Astronomical high tides will produce coastal flooding, which could be exacerbated in some spots due to the increased winds this week. Road closures are likely.

Cool Canadian air has brought an early taste of fall to the Carolinas, with crisp mornings in the 50s and 60s and sunny afternoons. The refreshing weather may help boost fall foliage vibrancy later this season.

Dry and dusty conditions attacked the tropical disturbance, which was on the verge of becoming a tropical system on Friday.

We are monitoring a tropical disturbance that could develop late this week. Gabrielle is the next day on the list.

Active weather returns to the Palmetto State, mainly along the coast, as we navigate into late weekend and through early next week.

Cold fronts usually become more frequent and stronger in spring, winter, and fall. Some are weaker than others, but the strongest ones can often cause extreme weather conditions.

Fernand is the 6th named system of the season and it will not be a threat to land, likely staying as a tropical storm during its lifetime.

Heavy periods of rain and thunderstorms will continue through much of the weekend, especially across the Midlands, Lowcountry, and Pee Dee. Up to 6 inches of additional rain for some locations is possible.
