Weather
Tracking the tropics. Lowcountry Meteorologists are tracking several areas — the first storm, Dexter, isn’t presenting a threat to SC. The other two areas of possible development are still a little far off the coast to know how or if they’ll impact SC. Keep an eye on the forecast + stay prepared. (WCSC)
Development
Mount Pleasant’s planning commission members met this week to discuss the future of Towne Centre. There was lots of discussion, but no action was taken. A vote could take place next Tuesday, Aug. 12, or it will go back to the planning commission next month. (WCBD)

Say goodbye to the old driver’s license design — SC’s newest IDs are showing up with a fresh face and state pride to match. The SCDMV unveiled redesigned driver’s licenses and ID cards featuring yellow jessamine, a Carolina wren, a loggerhead sea turtle, the State House, and more iconic Palmetto State imagery.
The upgrades go beyond looks. The cards include more than 40 new security features, laser engraving, and a new production process designed to fight counterfeiting and identity theft.
Starting this fall, applicants will receive a temporary certificate at the SCDMV office, with the finished card arriving by mail within 7–15 business days.
No need to rush — current cards remain valid until they expire. Pricing stays the same.
The Buy
A plumping and hydrating eye cream with 20,000+ five-star reviews. It features a caffeine-infused peptide complex that depuffs, brightens, and helps prevent wrinkles. Psst — Add the natural brand’s charcoal face scrub or gentle retinol to your routine for even more benefits.
