An area of low pressure is forming along a cold front off of the South Carolina coast. The low will move northward tonight and tomorrow, bringing rain to the area tonight.

As colder air pushes in from the north, the rain will change to snow from west to east during the day and into the evening. The potential exists for several inches of snowfall with more in the western portions of the state and less on the eastern shore.

The storm will pull away from the area tomorrow night, bringing an end to the precipitation. There may be some left over snow or rain showers Thursday morning but the day will be mostly dry.
