Outlook
Low pressure developing over the Gulf of Mexico today will cross northern Florida and southern Georgia tonight into early Monday, then track east of the South Carolina coast by late Monday. This will bring widespread rain to much of the region before the rainfall gradually tapers off from the west Monday night. Warm high pressure will build in behind the departing low starting Tuesday and dominate our weather on through at least Friday. Temperatures on Christmas Day is expected to be in the 60s.
