Hurricane Isaias is forecast to come ashore near the Florida panhandle, but it is pulling heavy rain onto the South Carolina coast from Oct. 9 through Oct. 11, with isolated totals up to 10 inches on top of king tides peaking near 7.7 feet in Charleston Harbor. The Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square is canceled for Saturday.
Why this matters here
A washed-out Saturday is a direct hit to weekend revenue for market vendors, restaurants and shops, and standing water on the peninsula can close a block without closing a single store. Owners who post hours, parking and reopening updates early tend to keep the customers who were already planning to come.
