Above-normal temperatures return to the Lowcountry on Thursday as high pressure at the surface begins to head eastward. We’ll start the day in the upper 40s to around 50°, warming to near 80° in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies. I hope you get a chance to get out and about at some point because it should be another nice day!

Friday & the weekend: Warming up a bit more, looking rain-free

No concerns for Friday and the upcoming weekend in the weather department as temperatures continue to warm. Friday starts much warmer than Thursday did; expect lows in the upper 50s to around 60° in the morning to warm to the low 80s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Saturday will essentially be a copy of Friday with a few more degrees added to the temperature forecast — expect temps to peak in the mid-80s. High pressure begins to lose a little influence on Sunday, which will drive a bit more in the way of cloud cover across the area. Even still, we’ll warm comfortably into the low-to-mid-80s once again.

The next rain chance arrives Tuesday and lingers into at least Wednesday as a front approaches the area and stalls out. Showers and a few thunderstorms are expected, but right now, severe weather is not. If that changes, I’ll let you know.
