I am elated to announce that I will be the newest Meteorologist at Live 5 News in Charleston, SC! I look forward to working with and learning from a prominent set of meteorologists and newscasters, and I'm excited to continue my journey in the Lowcountry! @Live5News @LIVE5WEATHER

RAIN CHANCES: As of today, @iflyCHS has gone 15 days without measurable rainfall, stemming back to the morning of October 11! Outside of a few isolated showers on Thursday, our pattern won't change too much until the first week of November. @Live5News @Live5Weather #SCWX

UPDATE (12 AM) - All EB lanes of the Don Holt Bridge (I-526) have reopened. One WB lane remains blocked, but is likely to reopen shortly. Expect heavy delays to continue in the WB direction between the Don Holt Bridge and River Landing Drive (Exit 24). @Live5Traffic #CHSTRFC

FIRST ALERT: Significant tidal flooding will be possible through at least next Wednesday due to the combination of King Tides and a strengthening northeasterly wind! Roadways that may become closed for an extended period include, but are not limited to: #SCWX #CHSWX #CHSTRFC

FIRST ALERT TRAFFIC (10:30 PM) - All EB lanes of I-526 EB are temporarily blocked on the Don Holt Bridge as emergency personnel work to clear an accident, and resultant debris on the road. Two left lanes of the Don Holt Bridge are also closed. @Live5Traffic @Live5News #chstrfc

UPDATE (9:25 PM) - Magnolia Road has reopened. @Live5Traffic #CHSTRFC

FIRST ALERT: Windier conditions will contribute to a heightened risk of tidal flooding this weekend! High tides beginning Saturday morning could climb into "moderate" flood stage at the Charleston Harbor; major flooding could ensue starting Sunday. #SCWX

HOMECOMING WEEKEND: @SCState1896’s Homecoming week continues on Saturday as @SCState_FB plays host to @NorfolkStateFB! Daytime temperatures will be comparable to what we have seen all week (upper 60s/lower 70s). The only difference will be a gustier wind. @Live5News #SCWX #CFB

FRIDAY: A fantastic forecast returns to the Lowcountry, mainly owing to a strong area of high pressure nearby! Morning temperatures will likely begin in the 40s and 50s for most, followed by afternoon highs in the lower 70s. Enjoy the final day of the work and school week! #SCWX
