Labor Day weekend will get off to a hot start with Heat Advisory-level heat indices expected Saturday. From there, we’ll turn more unsettled as we get into Sunday as a front moves through the area.

Summer won’t loosen its grip just yet, especially as we head into Friday and Saturday as a front approaches the area, sending air temperatures back to the mid-90s and heat indices close to heat advisory territory.

Thursday looks to generally be a repeat of Wednesday (weather-wise, anyway). We’ll start the day in the mid-70s once again, warming to the low 90s in the afternoon. Mid-70s dewpoints will help drive the heat index into the upper 90s to around 100° — not quite August, but getting long in the tooth. The day should be primarily quiet with partly cloudy skies expected, though like we saw roll through Moncks Corner on Wednesday, a stray shower can’t be totally ruled out.

Highs in the 90s will continue over the next few days with plenty of sunshine as high pressure aloft remains the dominant weather feature.
