More rain on the way… An area of low pressure will slide across the Carolinas today, bringing in even more rain. Expect mostly cloudy skies today with rain throughout the day. Rain will be widespread and heavy at times. Some storms could mix in but severe weather is not expected.

Highs will only reach to near 70 today.

Rain will continue this evening, becoming more scattered overnight. Expect mostly cloudy skies tonight with lows in the low to mid 60s.

We will see mostly cloudy skies again tomorrow but showers will be much more scattered. Wednesday will be more clouds than rain for most of the day. Highs will return to the low 70s tomorrow. Rain and storm chances will increase for Wednesday evening. Showers and storms will continue for Thursday. Highs will warm into the 80s to end the week.
