New Year’s weekend: Soggy Saturday, drying out Sunday

/ December 30, 2022 at 5:45 PM

2022 will come to an unsettled end across the Lowcountry as showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms develop and move through ahead of a cold front. A stronger storm or two will be possible near I-95, but otherwise expect generally off and on showers. The best risk for showers will occur in the afternoon through the early evening hours; yes, it is conceivable we may have the precipitation out of here as the clock strikes midnight. It will certainly be mild, with highs in the low 70s. Temperatures will run in the upper 50s as 2023 begins, so it should be fairly comfy with a light jacket.

The atmosphere will be drying out during the day Sunday, with cloud cover decreasing and some drier air moving in. It’ll still be warm, though, thanks to high pressure ridging aloft: once again, expect highs in the low to mid-70s. Overall, not a bad start to 2023!
