Another seasonably warm and mostly sunny day is on tap for Tuesday as high pressure remains in control. We’ll start the day on the cool side of normal once again, with lows in the mid-to-upper 50s expected away from the coastline. Then, temperatures warm to the low 80s in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine throughout. Don’t forget the SPF!
We will still need to monitor tides in the late evening as water levels should peak between 7-7.2’ mean lower low water in Charleston Harbor a little before 10:30 PM. Some minor salt water flooding will be possible an hour or two around the time of high tide as a result, and another coastal flood advisory appears probable. This should do it for this high tide cycle, though, as astronomical influences wane and winds turn more unfavorable starting Wednesday.
High pressure will be the main weather feature for the next few days, with comfortable warmth and plenty of sunshine expected through Thursday before the next isolated storm chance arrives Friday.
A front slowly approaches the area during the day Saturday, and ahead of it we’ll see scattered showers and thunderstorms begin to develop during the afternoon as the inland-moving seabreeze combines with some mid-level energy aloft. Some brief heavy rain is possible but shouldn’t ultimately amount to a ton of rain in any one location. Temperatures will continue to run above normal for late April; expect lows in the mid-60s to warm to the mid-80s in the afternoon before storms kick in.
The front gets by on Sunday, and winds shift a little more northeasterly as a result. We’ll start in the mid-60s once again, but temperatures should peak a touch cooler than they did on Saturday, with highs in the low 80s under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Quiet weather continues for a few more days, with temperatures warming back into the mid-to-upper 80s by the middle of next week.
