Another quiet and nice weekend to get outdoors is on tap. Saturday starts in the low 60s, warming to around 80° in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies. It’ll be another breezy day, with winds out of the east and southeast blowing around 10-15 MPH (a little higher toward the coast).

For Sunday, we highlight Saturday, press Cmd-C, select the “Sunday” cell, and press Cmd-V, as generally similar weather is in store. Winds may be a little less breezy, which is only the real change as high pressure continues to be the driving force in our weather for the weekend and into much of next week.

There’s not been too terribly much to write home about weather-wise this week, and that continues as we head into Friday and the weekend. Temperatures will remain generally within spitting distance of normal, and while we’ll have some cloud cover from time to time, plenty of sunshine will filter through as well as high pressure remains the dominant player in the forecast. Dewpoints will generally run in the mid-50s, yielding generally comfortable relative humidity values around 45-50% each afternoon.

Next week, expect temperatures to head several degrees above normal to close out April and welcome in May, with mid-to-upper 80s expected by mid-week. Shower chances look relatively low right now, even with a front trying to get nearby. So, if you’re looking for rain, it may be several more days!

After last week’s summer preview, temperatures will be more seasonable by late April standards, even getting off to a much cooler than normal start on Monday as clouds gradually break up. Expect highs to only top out in the mid-to-upper 60s on Monday as a northerly breeze persists across the area. Tuesday gets off to the coolest start this week in the mid-40s before warming to the mid-70s in the afternoon — truly looking like a fantastic weather day in the Lowcountry. We’re back to the low 80s Wednesday before a dry front knocks temperatures back down to the upper 70s for Thursday and Friday. 80s return over the weekend, with some mid-80s possible by Sunday. You’ll notice a dearth of rain chances — it should be a great week overall to get outside, and I hope you can take advantage!
