Tuesday: Seasonable warmth and sunshine continue

/ October 21, 2024 at 10:52 PM

The status quo continues for our weather on Tuesday, and with the way things have been going, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Expect to start the day in the mid-to-upper 50s (warmer near the coast), warming to the low 80s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies. (The normal high for October 22 is 76°, so we’ll be running a few degrees above climatology.) We’ll have a little bit of a northeast breeze once again, but nothing too bad.

The high tide at 12:45 PM should fall short of the 7′ flood stage in Charleston Harbor, though it’ll be a bit of a close call. We may still see some salt water encroach onto some of the more vulnerable roads as a result. Otherwise, that’ll do it for this cycle of coastal flooding. The next new moon arrives November 2, and we’ll watch around that time for additional coastal flooding concerns.
