FORECAST:

• Gray sky again this morning, but this time around we have light rain showers moving in.
• These will be with us off and on all day long, with the most concentration in the mountains.
• Nothing too heavy is expected, but it may be wet at times. This afternoon, highs will warm slightly into the lower 70s.
• Shower chances remain with us through most of the rest of the week. Some areas could eventually pick up nearly 1 inch of rain by the weekend.
• So, it won’t be a ton of rain this week, but we’ll take what we can get at this point.
• Rafael remains a tropical storm this morning and is forecast to become a hurricane by at least tonight.
• It will move over to western Cuba tomorrow and then head into the Gulf late next week.
• Some moisture does stream our way from the storm, but we don’t see any direct impacts in the Carolinas.
• Any heavy rain threats that get even closer likely remain in Georgia and southern South Carolina.
