Doesn't look like much has changed, at least from a Lowcountry perspective. The storm is about 170 miles away. The NHC is talking more about Northeast South Carolina and the threat of tornados in North Carolina than they are about the Charleston area...
So it's still basically good news for the Lowcountry, though experience teaches that you never trust a tropical storm. Ever. And we're not alone in that suspicious attitude: blogger Jared W. Smith, who runs a downtown weather station, has been paying close attention to multiple forecasting tools, and notices one that still gives him pause...
I’m watching the Live 5 FutureTracker, and it seems their model still takes the center very close to Charleston. Interesting…
Next up for us: 9 a.m. EOC press conference...
Weather Underground hosts about seven or eight or so weather stations throughout the Lowcountry:

Most areas are pretty well represented, including Summerville, double coverage on Seabrook, Goose Creek, Isle of Palms, Snee Farm, one on Market Street, and mine, across from MUSC on Ashley Ave.
