Stubborn cloud cover should start to clear out later today; remains chilly until then

/ February 7, 2021 at 9:38 AM

Cloud cover and patches of drizzle continue over the Charleston area this morning as we remain in the low 40s. Temperatures remain forecast to climb into the mid-50s later this afternoon as sunshine breaks through, but if the low-level cloud deck is a little more stubborn, it wouldn’t shock me to see us barely breach 50° today. There are some signs in short-term guidance that appreciable clearing won’t really begin to happen until after sunset, which would definitely put a cap on how warm it could get. Otherwise, no weather concerns for today (unless you are a general aviator who is not yet instrument-rated, anyway).
