Marine Weather Statement issued July 7 at 5:52AM EDT by NWS Charleston SC

Effective: Tue July 7, 2026, 5:52 AM
Expires: Tue July 7, 2026, 8:30 AM

At 550 AM, National Weather Service Doppler Radar detected clusters of showers and thunderstorms over portions of the near and outer Atlantic waters off the Charleston County coast. These showers and thunderstorm were likely developing along a land breeze, which should continue to trigger showers and storms through daybreak. The environment this morning may support the development of waterspouts near these showers and thunderstorms.

If waterspouts occur, move your boat away from the waterspout. Remember that waterspouts can develop rapidly and produce winds and seas that are dangerous for vessels and everyone onboard. Report waterspouts via social media or by calling the National Weather Service at 1-888-383-2024.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
