and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC

.DISCUSSION...
Tropical Storm Chantal and its eventual remnants will bring
increased moisture along with some breezy winds into the area
today as it moves onshore this morning and tracks through the
eastern Carolinas. The highest rain chances remain across the
eastern Carolinas, but there is at least a chance of rainfall
everywhere Sunday before returning to a more climatological
pattern for the week ahead.

Fog Potential: Fog unlikely.
