Friday & the weekend: Heat peaks before a brief cooldown

/ October 24, 2024 at 10:44 PM

Warm weather continues for Friday into Saturday ahead of a front that’ll knock temperatures down for Sunday. High pressure aloft will help drive highs on Friday into the low 80s, while we may flirt with record highs on Saturday as temperatures head to the mid-80s. (The record high for Saturday at North Charleston is 87°, set in 1939.)

A front moves through late Saturday into Sunday. It’ll kick up a bit more in the way of cloud cover, and after starting the day around 60°, we’ll warm to just the mid-70s under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. There’s an outside shot that some of us may get a shower or two as the front gets by, but I wouldn’t bank on it. The cooloff won’t last too long; after highs bottom out in the low 70s Monday, we’ll be back in the 80s in time for Halloween.
