Charlestown, SC formerly thought to have the potential to become
tropical will track slowly inland through tonight and further
inland Tue. Otherwise, a warm front will lift N across the waters

Wed night. A cold front will move E over the southern and then
the central waters tonight and Tue while stalling over this
region Tue night into Wed before again moving E later Wed and Wed
night. On Thu and Thu night the slow moving cold front will have
several low centers forming along it which will move towards the
NE. Another cold front will drift S across the N waters early Fri

inland areas and and N of the waters. Another low pressure is
expected to develop along this cold front over the N waters Fri
