A weekend weather pattern brings tropical moisture into the Southeast, expanding flash flood risk from coastal South Carolina up through North Carolina and into Florida. A Level 2 risk is in place near Charleston, with a broader 1/4 risk from Miami to Wilmington; slower-moving downpours could yield 2–3 inches of rain in spots, while most areas may see 1–2 inches. The rain could help ease lingering drought in Florida and southern Georgia as it dampens outdoor plans.
