The main weather story this week will be the return of heat that will be reminiscent of what we experienced earlier in July, with another round of dangerous heat indices pushing 110-115° at times.

Overall, unsettled weather will continue over the weekend, though as is often the case in the summer, your plans won’t be completely washed out, either.

Showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast as we head into Friday and the weekend, with the best rain chances on Saturday as a slug of moisture moves ashore.

Like the past few days, we will be getting our storms out of the way during Thursday’s morning and early afternoon hours as storms developing over the Atlantic drift coastward. Expect a warm and muggy start in the mid-70s, warming to around 90° in the afternoon once the sun emerges from behind the clouds. Showers and thunderstorms will once again be capable of producing heavy rain, with a flood advisory or two not out of the question especially if storms begin to train. We may also see a waterspout or two as well; earlier today, a storm off Kiawah produced four waterspouts (none of which made it to shore, at least). Keep an eye out on the beaches or if you have some boating planned.
