Dangerous heat and humidity continues across the Lowcountry as we get into the second half of the work week with fewer opportunities for relief from thunderstorms.

The heat wave continues Tuesday with another hot and humid day on tap, followed by a scattering of afternoon thunderstorms. We’ll start in the upper 70s inland to low 80s near the coast and downtown, warming to the mid-90s in the afternoon. Dewpoints in the mid-70s will drive heat indices toward 108-110°. Another Heat Advisory will be in effect for Charleston and Berkeley counties as a result. Further inland toward Dorchester, dewpoints should be ever so slightly low enough to stay out of Heat Advisory criteria, but it’s still going to be plenty hot.

From there, a few thunderstorms should fire along and ahead of the seabreeze. Storm motions should be a little more coastward, so keep an eye out at the beaches for possible thunderstorms. A stray severe storm is not out of the question, with damaging wind gusts and hail to the size of quarters possible.
