I am elated to announce that I will be the newest Meteorologist at Live 5 News in Charleston, SC! I look forward to working with and learning from a prominent set of meteorologists and newscasters, and I'm excited to continue my journey in the Lowcountry! @Live5News @LIVE5WEATHER

FIRE WEATHER: Dry, and occasionally breezy, conditions will contribute to an elevated fire weather danger today across the Lowcountry! Although our wind speeds will be relatively light, RH levels are expected to drop to below 35% this afternoon. @Live5Weather @Live5News #SCWX

FIRST ALERT: Our recent stretch of dry weather may come to an end by late week (or no later than the first week of November)! In the meantime, this week's area of high pressure will favor afternoon highs in the 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday. #SCWX #CHSWX

DEVELOPING STORY: Crews with the @ForestryCommish, and other agencies, are working to contain a brush fire in southern Georgetown County, which has burned over 100 acres since Saturday! Here's the latest details: @Live5News @Live5Weather @NWSWilmingtonNC #SCWX #CHSWX
