Unseasonably cool and damp conditions shortened Labor Day picnics across most of South Carolina. Highs will stay in the 70s and 80s with scattered showers through Tuesday as vacationers seek dry indoor spots and tourism venues report mixed occupancy. The Grand Strand shoppers and Myrtle Beach area hotels noted cancellations and early checkouts but overall continued crowds. The Southern 500 NASCAR race at Darlington was paused two hours by rain but resumed after the track dried.
