The National Weather Service writes that not only will rain likely be around Sunday night but on Monday there will likely be"severe thunderstorms ahead of a strong cold front Monday afternoon and evening and a few thunderstorms could become severe with damaging winds large hail and even an isolated tornado, especially between 2 and 11 p.m."

We'll keep you posted on changes.

The forecase high and low are 85 and 69, respectively.

Update September 27, 7:30 a.m.: Heavy rains came through Beaufort around 2 a.m. leaving a nightly total of some half-an-inch, as recorded at the Marine Corps Air Station. Forecasters still expect more rain to come largely this afternoon and evening along with the chance of high winds and thunderstorms as a cold front approaches.
