CHARLESTON (WCSC) - Registration is open for The Citadel's 16th annual Bulldog Challenge.

Not for the faint of heart, the challenge tests the physical limits of even the fittest and fiercest endurance competitors from across the Southeast.

LOWCOUNTRY (WCSC) - Live 5 Meteorologist expects temperatures to hit the upper 60s on this Presidents Day:

Sunshine will mix though the clouds on our Presidents Day in fact....most of the early morning cloud cover is quickly burning off. Temps took a nosedive overnight thanks to a lot of cold air moving in behind a front that cleared off the coastline late Sunday. High pressure will control our weather for a while as highs this afternoon reach the cool upper 50s to near 60. A brisk northeast breeze will continue around 5-12 mph so you may need to keep the coats on for a while. This evening the drive time looks fine but cool...in the mid to lower 50s and a few thin clouds overhead. Lows tonight go back down into the 40s and 30s but not quite as cool as this morning.
