Postal workers to collect food Saturday for Stamp Out Hunger

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Millions of Americans are struggling to find their next meal, and on Saturday, helping them can be as easy as taking a walk to your mailbox.

The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive returns all throughout the United States Saturday, May 11 2013. Presented by the National Association of Letter Carriers and Campbell Soup Company, this food drive encourages people to collect a bag of non-perishable food items and place the bag by your mailbox.

Postal workers will pick up your donation and deliver it to a local food bank.

In 2012, Stamp Out Hunger collected 70.5 million pounds of food, bringing its grand total of donations to 1.2 billion pounds of food collect in the drive's 20 year history.

Warm weather continues Friday with plenty of sunshine

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson says the sunshine will continue Friday:

Another good looking day is ahead for the Lowcountry on Friday. Plenty of sun has started us off and temperatures are starting the climb that will take them into the mid 80s later this afternoon. South winds will stay light, around 7-12mph and keep the beaches a bit cooler than those of us inland. This evening a few more clouds come in but the forecast stays dry.

Sunshine and mild temps carry us through the day on Thursday. Look for lots of blue overhead and highs back in the mid to lower 80s away from the beaches today. Rain chance is zero and with lower humidity and a light west wind, it looking to be a great outdoor day!

Keep an umbrella handy for Tuesday showers

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson has your rainy Tuesday forecast:

Clouds are moving in this morning and some of them will drop showers as you head out the door. With polls open today in some counties on this special election day you may want to take the umbrella with you just incase you get caught under a light shower. Temps will stay in the lower 70s by afternoon on a mild southwest breeze. Some of the heavier showers may turn into a thunderstorm that could drop some small hail thanks to very cold air overhead. rain chances today are solid at 50-60%. Clearing and cool by late tonight into the early morning hours of Wednesday.
