COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — After four dry days, rain has returned to South Carolina — but not in the record-breaking amounts seen last week that caused devastating floods.
Thunderstorms in the capital of Columbia are making it difficult if not impossible for residents who were evacuated to get back home to salvage belongings or check on their properties. However, by midmorning, there were no reports of major problems caused by the additional precipitation.
A storm system near the coast this weekend will bring as much as an additional inch of rain to some areas, according to the National Weather Service. The heaviest rain is expected Saturday, although forecasters said it shouldn’t be enough to flood any additional areas.
After the weekend, forecasters predict several more dry days.
