Clouds and temperatures will be on the increase for Tuesday as moisture begins to move back into the area. We start Tuesday in the low 50s before temperatures warm reasonably quickly into the low 80s by early afternoon. We should get plenty of sun for much of the day, though cloud cover will be thickening by evening.

Rest of the work week: Generally unsettled

Low pressure developing in the Gulf will strafe the Gulf Coast as it moves eastward over the next few days, and will sling some moisture our direction in the process. Showers should increase as we get into Wednesday night and Thursday. Clouds and showers will send temperatures down from about 80° on Wednesday to only the low 70s on Thursday. One round of low pressure then gives way to another, keeping showers in the forecast for Friday. We should see some breaks in the clouds, though, and showers will generally be of the scattered variety. (A rumble of thunder is possible, too.)

Tropics: Two areas to watch

In the tropics, we are getting closer to our next depression far out in the eastern Atlantic. There’s a 70% chance of that occurring in the next two days and an 80% chance within the next week. If this gets a name, it could very well be Sean. We’re running out of names on the primary list at this point; after Sean, there’s only Tammy, Vince, and Whitney.

The second area of interest is in the Bay of Campeche in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. This low, which will be one of the drivers for increased moisture in our area later this week, has a slight chance to gain some tropical characteristics before merging with a front. Whether this happens, though, will be largely immaterial to our weather here at home. Regardless, it’s going to bring some breezy conditions to the Gulf Coast waters over the next couple days.

Otherwise, that’s it — no concerns for the Lowcountry.
