It’ll be a quiet and seasonable weekend of weather in the Lowcountry as we embark on the last shopping weekend before Christmas. Temperatures Saturday will start on the cool side, with calm winds and clear skies allowing temperatures to fall to the mid-30s by morning. Mostly sunny skies will help temperatures warm to the low 60s in the afternoon, about right where we should be for December 20.

The airmass moderates a bit on Sunday ahead of another front. We’ll start the day in the low 40s, warming to the mid-60s in the afternoon with mostly sunny skies once again expected. The frontal passage late Sunday will be dry, but will bring a decent shot of cool air to start the abbreviated work week on Monday. We’ll warm back up for Christmas, though, and may even crack 70° on Christmas Day, as we look to close 2025 on a warmer-than-normal note with sprawling high pressure developing aloft across much of the continental US.
