GENERAL OUTLOOK
A stalled frontal boundary will linger along the Carolina coast today as high pressure briefly builds into the forecast area. A tropical system will drift northward and approach the South Carolina, Coast on Monday and Tuesday. It now appears less likely that our area will experience significant impacts from this system early next week. The tropical system is expected to move further out over the Atlantic later in the week as high pressure builds over our area from the north.
