February gives way to March this week with very little fanfare in the weather department. We start the week with temperatures running a touch below normal, but a gradual warmup is in the cards as we get through the work week before we approach 80° by the weekend. High pressure will keep things rain-free for the next few days, though it may be a little more cloudy than we might like Monday into Tuesday.

The only main weather concern this week will be the risk for minor coastal flooding with the Monday and Tuesday morning high tides thanks to persistent northeast flow and the upcoming new moon. The 6:03am high tide Monday morning could clip 7’. Tuesday morning’s will run a little higher around 7.2-7.4’, which could close a few vulnerable roads near the edges of the Charleston peninsula. Beyond then, winds begin to go around to the north and then the west, which will cut down the coastal flooding risk for the rest of the week.
