The Storm Prediction Center rates the chances of storms on a five-point scale with five being the highest threat. Live 5 First Alert Meteorologist Chris Holtzman says the Lowcountry remains in the second-lowest threat on Sunday.

Most of the Lowcountry will see lows in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s Sunday morning with a chance of brief showers as moisture comes ashore. The storm is expected to reach Interstate 95 around 9 a.m., and will be in the Lowcountry area between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Brief wind gusts over 50 miles per hour will be the main threat, but Holtzman says a brief spin-up tornado can not be ruled out.

The cold front will move offshore by Sunday night, bringing back sunshine and slightly cooler weather for St. Patrick’s Day.
