We’ll continue our nice weather winning streak into Thursday as temperatures will once again get into the mid-70s under mostly sunny skies. We’ll begin to see some clouds re-enter our skies tomorrow with a little more moisture moving in as a backdoor cold front moves across the Mid-Atlantic during the day, but no rain is expected. Overall, expect another pleasant day across the area.

We’re back into the rain on Thursday as another storm system affects the area. Expect periods of showers and storms at any time throughout the day, and be ready for the potential for a couple storms to be strong.

I hope everyone enjoyed the outbreak of sunshine today! It was nice to see temperatures rebound into the mid-60s across the area with nearly cloudless skies for much of the day.

Unfortunately, our unsettled weather pattern remains in place, and today’s respite will be short-lived as clouds build back into the area during the day Wednesday, with shower chances increasing after sunset.

After a stormy Monday night caps off a rather dreary weekend, Tuesday is looking a lot better with at least a brief reprieve from the rain. Clouds will be scouring out in the wake of the front swinging through, and we should be mostly sunny by afternoon. Temperatures will rise quite nicely into the low 60s, which will feel downright blazing compared to the low 40s we found ourselves stuck in over the weekend. Unfortunately, this reprieve will be short-lived as rain chances return to the forecast Wednesday. We’ll take it a day at a time, though, and enjoy tomorrow!

Watch out for fog Thursday morning as you commute — it could turn dense at times, so you’ll want to ensure you’re using the low beams and allowing a little extra time to get where you need to go.

After the fog clears up, we’ll still see mostly cloudy skies, but we could see a few peeks of sun at times. Regardless, temperatures look to warm to near 70° in the afternoon ahead of a cold front. Rain chances will increase as the day goes on, but don’t expect much in the way of widespread rainfall until after dark.

Showers will become likely by this afternoon as high pressure wedges into the area from the north and warmer air overruns it. Temperatures should generally top out in the low 60s — right around where we should be for this time of year. Keep rain gear handy, especially this afternoon, but significant rainfall issues are not expected.

Rain chances tick up for Tuesday as high pressure departs and warmer and more humid air moves back into the area. Despite cloud cover, highs should top out near 70°. Expect scattered showers to begin to take shape by afternoon. Rain amounts will generally be light, but a downpour or two can’t be totally ruled out.

Cloud cover and patches of drizzle continue over the Charleston area this morning as we remain in the low 40s. Temperatures remain forecast to climb into the mid-50s later this afternoon as sunshine breaks through, but if the low-level cloud deck is a little more stubborn, it wouldn’t shock me to see us barely breach 50° today. There are some signs in short-term guidance that appreciable clearing won’t really begin to happen until after sunset, which would definitely put a cap on how warm it could get. Otherwise, no weather concerns for today (unless you are a general aviator who is not yet instrument-rated, anyway).

Cooler and drier air will rush into the area tonight into Tuesday, helping to break up the cloud cover but keeping us rather chilly. Breezy northwest winds will make tomorrow morning’s mid-30s feel more like the 20s, so if you’re headed out in the morning, make sure you’ve got a little layering going on to stay warm. Despite some downslope flow, highs will struggle to reach 50° in the afternoon with periods of cloud cover. (At least it won’t be raining.)

Cloud cover has arrived, and the rain will pick up as Sunday goes on as yet another cold front makes its way toward our neck of the woods. The best chances of the heaviest rain will come later in the afternoon into the evening hours, but showers will be possible at really any point of the day. Once it’s all said and done, we could log another half-inch to inch of rain in the books to close out January.

Temperatures will run in the mid-60s with a stiff southerly wind pumping warm, moist air into the region. Gusts could reach 30 MPH at times, particularly on exposed overpasses and bridges, so be cautious when traveling tomorrow.

There will be a small risk of some minor coastal flooding with tomorrow morning’s high tide, which would primarily affect areas near The Citadel and around Lockwood Dr. High tide is forecast to peak a little after 9:30am.
