SUMMARY: A cold front with storms has moved offshore, bringing cooler, drier air to the CSRA, setting up sunshine and pleasant weather for Monday and Tuesday, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. This is due to a slow-moving “Omega block” pattern, featuring high pressure over the region, surrounded by low pressure areas causing rain elsewhere. However, midweek, this pattern will weaken, allowing moisture and rain to return, with showers and thunderstorms likely from Wednesday through Saturday. The Mother’s Day forecast remains uncertain, depending on the Omega block’s breakdown. Updates will follow later this week.

SUMMARY: The town of Dunbarton in Barnwell County, SC, was one of seven towns displaced by the Savannah River Project in the early 1950s. Margaret Rountree, a former resident, has helped organize reunions for over 70 years, now in their 72nd year, held at Barnwell State Park. These reunions bring together three generations of descendants to preserve the town’s memory. Other towns affected include Ellenton and Meyers Mill. The reunions feature photos, yearbooks, and memorabilia. Dunbarton was uprooted when the Savannah River Site was established, covering over 300 square miles across several counties. Rountree continues to honor the legacy of the town and its people.

SUMMARY: Rising inventory and weak demand are shifting leverage to home buyers, with sellers offering concessions in 44% of U.S. home sales in Q1 2024, up from 39% the previous year. Concessions, such as covering repair costs, closing fees, or mortgage-rate buydowns, help buyers afford homes without lowering list prices. The Pacific Northwest leads, notably Seattle (71%) and Portland (64%), where sellers offer perks to keep prices high amid tough market conditions. In contrast, cities like New York (6%) and Miami (34%) see fewer concessions as sellers pre-price homes more competitively. Nationwide, 16% of sales included both price cuts and concessions.
