Weekend forecast: Turning warmer with a few more clouds

/ May 15, 2026 at 10:12 PM

We’ll turn warmer over the weekend as high pressure aloft and at the surface remain the main weather features. With high pressure moving offshore, winds out of the south and southeast will bring warmer and somewhat more humid air into the area. This will contribute to a little more in the way of cloud cover, but despite that cloud cover, highs still peak in the mid-80s. Clouds thicken in the mid and upper levels on Sunday, but that doesn’t stop temperatures from running in the upper 80s in the afternoon. Shouldn’t see any rainfall, though, as the better moisture and rain chances will be well, well inland. Not excellent for the ongoing extreme to exceptional drought across parts the Lowcountry.
