Thursday will run a bit on the cloudy side, but we’ll still see some peeks of sun at times to allow temperatures to warm from the mid-60s in the morning to the mid-80s in the afternoon. Northeasterly winds persist, keeping dewpoints relatively low and the air comfortably warm as a result. We will continue to contend with some salt water flooding around the midday high tide, which could close a few roads for those of us headed for an early lunch downtown.

Another quiet weather day is ahead as high pressure wedges across the area from the northeast. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with comfortable temperatures. We start the day in the mid-60s, warming to about 80° in the afternoon. It’ll be a bit breezy, with winds gusting around 15-20 MPH especially near the coast. These northeasterly winds will continue to drive tidal departures in Charleston Harbor above flood stage, and we should see minor to moderate flooding with the 9:35 AM high tide. Some flooding may have impacts on the tail end of the commute, so be prepared for delays if downtown is your destination.

A front which helped stir up another round of heavy rain and flooding in downtown Charleston on Sunday will clear the area overnight into early Monday, yielding a week of comfortable temperatures with occasional slight shower and storm chances.
