Update July 19: The system has formed into a tropical depression. Find out more.
If you’ve looked up today you’ve no doubt noticed the clouds around, well it looks like they’ll stick around a bit, but the bulk of the rain may stay offshore.
Storm clouds were already brewing early Thursday evening.The National Weather Service says that it looks like the system will meander off the southern South Carolina coast, possibly dropping large amounts of rain.
But the agency still gives the system a “high” chance of forming into a cyclone during the next 48 hours.
