It finally looks like we will get some sufficient rainfall across the Blythewood/Fairfield County area. Deep moisture is expected to spread into the Southeast all thanks to an onshore flow from high pressure offshore, and Hurricane Rafael approaching the Gulf Coast. This will lead to numerous showers on Thursday. Locally heavy rain will be possible.
Moisture may linger over the region through the long term with at least a slight chance of rain each day. By this weekend, a weak cold front will drop into the state, allowing for drier and slightly cooler weather. But we flip the script once again on Monday as a warm front lifts through, and that could allow for a few more isolated showers, but slightly warmer temps across the Blythewood/Fairfield County area.
