Happy Friday. The 2025 regular South Carolina legislative session has ended. But it's not technically over just yet. First, we want to say thank you to all of our State House Gavel readers over the past five months who have followed our reporting since its inception. We are taking a short break, but plan to return later this month with more Statehouse coverage.

Take a look at the photograph above this story. And understand that the most unusual thing about it is actually the expression on Collin Teem's face.

As the 2025 hurricane season approaches, it is crucial to become familiar with the season's terminology and what everything means as soon as advisories are issued. Knowing what basic critical terms mean could save you lots of time (and worries) and avoid confusion in hyped messages.

A very happy Thursday. It's the final day of the South Carolina legislative session. The House returns at 10 a.m. and the Senate is in at 10:01 a.m. Sine die strikes at 5 p.m.

The week will end with increased shower and thunderstorm activity across much of the Southeast. A low-pressure system entering the region will lead to plenty of moisture, which will cause instability. The moisture channel will continue streaming in from the Gulf of Mexico across Florida and the Carolinas throughout the weekend.

Welcome to Wednesday. There are roughly 36 hours until sine die, but who's counting? The regular session gavels out at 5 p.m. Thursday.
