A flood warning remains in effect for portions of South Carolina, impacting rivers in and around Columbia. The National Weather Service has warned residents to avoid riverbanks near the Congaree and Wateree Rivers, which are rising due to continuous rains. Patchy fog is expected early Wednesday, further reducing visibility for drivers.
According to the National Weather Service, flood-prone areas near I-126 and I-77 in Columbia are of particular concern, with motorists advised to avoid driving through flooded roads. The flood warning will remain active through at least 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
Residents near rivers are urged to take precautions and monitor local updates. Motorists should not drive around barricades or attempt to cross flooded roads. Visibility will remain limited in the morning due to fog, and calm conditions later in the day should help with water receding. The rest of the week will see mostly sunny skies, with temperatures in the mid-80s through Friday.
