We’ve got a warmer-than-normal weekend ahead of us as high pressure slips offshore and a cold front approaches from the west.

Friday will remain mostly sunny after some patches of possibly dense fog in the morning. Highs will top out right around 70°, making for a nice afternoon across the area. Similar temperatures are expected Saturday despite more cloud cover. A slight shower chance comes into the forecast late Saturday, continuing into Sunday. Temperatures will top out in the low 70s on Sunday ahead of the cold front.

No washout is expected this weekend — just keep rain gear handy in case a shower comes through. The majority of the rain associated with the front will come through Monday, with the heaviest rains looking to remain to our north.

Mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures will make for a very nice Thursday across the Lowcountry. Expect temperatures to start out in the upper 30s to low 40s in the morning, followed by highs topping out in the mid-60s — just a touch above normal for December 10.

After a fun evening of rain mixed with graupel, we return to clear and chilly conditions for Tuesday. Temperatures will fall to freezing in a few spots well inland, with low to mid-30s across much of the Charleston metro. Factor in a decent northwest breeze and it’ll feel closer to the mid-20s in the morning.

We’ll remain under full sunshine throughout the day, but temperatures will struggle to the low 50s as cool air continues to filter into the area.
