Severe Thunderstorms and Flooding Warnings Hit Charleston: What You Need to Know

Charleston is bracing itself today for a showdown with Mother Nature, as the city finds itself in the crosshairs of severe thunderstorms and unprecedented rainfall. Early on Monday evening, the National Weather Service (NWS) out of Charleston, SC, fired off a fresh warning, alerting residents about strong thunderstorms expected until 8 p.m. Let’s dive into what locals can expect over the next few hours!

Thunderstorm Activity in Full Swing

As of 7:32 p.m., Doppler radar indicated a **line of strong thunderstorms stretching from Scotia to Coosawhatchie**, making its way south at a brisk pace of 10 mph. The likely suspects – wind gusts hitting up to **50 mph** – may wreak havoc, causing tree limbs to tumble and unsecured items to blow around. The areas facing this alert include Yemassee, Furman, Scotia, Grays, Gillisonville, Coosawhatchie, Pineland, Robertville, Ridgeland, and Tarboro.

Motorists, take note! If you’re traveling along Interstate 95 between mile markers 25 and 38, brace for possible **disruptions.** The advice? Stay tuned into your preferred local news source or check NOAA Weather Radio for the latest updates as the thunderstorm alert will be active until 8 p.m.

Rainfall Records Broken!

As if that wasn’t enough, this storm system has pulled off a surprising act in Charleston. The Charleston International Airport recorded an astonishing **1.99 inches of rain** since midnight, shattering a record set back in 1952, which was **1.93 inches**! Downtown Charleston also faced a deluge, with **2.06 inches** of rain falling, exceeding a **126-year-old** record of **1.57 inches** from way back in 1899.

Flooding Alerts Abound

For neighboring Panama City, FL, the day was just as wild, with Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport experiencing a staggering **0.75 inches of rain in just eight minutes!** That’s a jaw-dropping rainfall rate of **5.63 inches per hour.**
