The heat wave continues Tuesday with another hot and humid day on tap, followed by a scattering of afternoon thunderstorms. We’ll start in the upper 70s inland to low 80s near the coast and downtown, warming to the mid-90s in the afternoon. Dewpoints in the mid-70s will drive heat indices toward 108-110°. Another Heat Advisory will be in effect for Charleston and Berkeley counties as a result. Further inland toward Dorchester, dewpoints should be ever so slightly low enough to stay out of Heat Advisory criteria, but it’s still going to be plenty hot.

From there, a few thunderstorms should fire along and ahead of the seabreeze. Storm motions should be a little more coastward, so keep an eye out at the beaches for possible thunderstorms. A stray severe storm is not out of the question, with damaging wind gusts and hail to the size of quarters possible.
