The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for the Lowcountry until 10 a.m. today.

Reports of flooding on Lockwood Drive near Broad Street and on U.S. Highway 17 near the Ashley River bridge came in about 8 a.m. as Charleston approached high tide, meteorologist Blair Holloway said.

The roadways aren’t closed, but Holloway said as flooding increases they may become questionable.

There will be an 80 percent chance of showers, with an increasing chance of rain overnight.

Highs will be about 50 with lows in the mid 40s. Northeast winds will be from 10 to 15 mph.

Thursday: Cloudy with a 50 percent chance of rain. Highs will be in the mid 50s with lows about 40. Northeast winds will be from 5 to 10 mph.

Friday: Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers. Highs will be about 60 with lows about 40.
