Tuesday’s forecast will continue to feature warm temperatures and afternoon thunderstorms as Berkeley and Charleston head back to school. We have another warm start ahead of us — generally expect lows in the upper 70s once again, followed by highs in the low 90s in the afternoon. This should run a couple degrees cooler with a little more onshore flow, but it’ll still be toasty with heat indices peaking around 102° before showers and storms fire. Once again, heavy downpours could cause localized flooding, especially near swollen rivers and streams and in urban areas, so stay alert for possible Flood Advisories.

Well, there will be decidedly fewer tropical cyclones impacting the area during the upcoming week, though we will still be living with flooding from Debby for the next few days along the Edisto and Ashley rivers as they continue to fall slowly from record (or very near-record) levels. We at least have something to look forward to as we head into the first school week of the year: some drier air punching in for late week.
