This weekend is going to have quite a summer-like feel to it with highs in the 80s and a slight chance of showers and storms each afternoon.

A cold front will be weakening and stalling out across the area Friday into Saturday. The front, a remnant of the strong storm system that is responsible for a severe weather outbreak in the mid-South today, will not be able to overcome the ridging aloft and strong surface high pressure. However, a few storms will be possible on Friday with the potential for one or two of them to produce damaging wind gusts and large hail. Widespread severe weather is not anticipated, though.

Getting into Saturday, we see the stalled front still in the area, perhaps acting as a focal point to kick off a few showers or storms. Otherwise, the story will be the warmth — lows in the mid-60s will continue to flirt with record high minimums, and highs in the low to mid-80s appear common, with potentially higher temperatures inland.

Another cold front will backdoor into the area from the north on Sunday. A few showers and thunderstorms will once again be possible ahead of said front, and a couple of those might err on the strong side, but once again widespread severe weather does not appear to be in the cards. This front will actually make it through the area, though, and by Monday, temperatures will be 10-15° cooler as high pressure wedges in from the northeast.

We’ll get Friday off to a nice start in the wake of the cold front which instigated a lot of the rough weather over the last couple days in the eastern half of the country. Temperatures will start around 50-51° under mostly clear skies. We’ll warm to the mid-60s before another cold front “backdoors” in from the north, bringing much cooler temperatures and a return to cloud cover.

Yes, folks…the wedge is back.

Saturday will start out much cooler than normal, with highs in the upper 30s. Temperatures will only head up to the mid-50s as the wedge settles in. At the same time, a low will spin up off the Florida and Georgia coast. Convergence on the northern half of the low could help spread a few showers into the area as early as Saturday, but slightly better rain chances arrive on Sunday as the low heads northeast, coming a little bit closer to our coastline. Sunday looks a bit warmer with highs near 60° as the wedge seems to weaken a little bit. Don’t fret — we’re back in the 70s by next Tuesday.

Warm and dry weather will continue into the weekend, with temperatures remaining well above normal until a cold front backdoors into the area Monday and introduces some rain chances. Until then, though, while we will see a slow increase in clouds, expect mid-to-upper 70s away from the locally cooler coastline.

Don’t forget: Early Sunday morning, we “spring forward” into Daylight Saving Time. Be sure to set your manually-set clocks ahead one hour before going to bed on Saturday night. It’s also a good time to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, not to mention your weather radio!

After a very turbulent stretch lasting over a month, it looks like we finally will be getting an extended period of mostly quiet weather. That began with today’s Severely Nice Weather Alert Day, which featured cobalt blue skies and highs topping out around 70-71° across the area.

Overnight, a cold front will backdoor in from the north, switching winds northeasterly and keeping temperatures cooler for Friday. Expect mostly sunny skies throughout the day with clouds increasing late as some upper-level energy ripples through the area. A shower or two can’t be totally ruled out overnight Friday into Saturday, but the chances are super-low right now.

We’ll start Saturday with a fair bit of cloud cover, but do expect the sun to be peeking through with increasing frequency as the day goes on. Temperatures will remain rather chilly by early March standards, only topping out in the upper 50s.

Cloud cover will dissipate for Sunday as high pressure continues its reign over our weather. Despite full sunshine, temperatures will once again only rise to the upper 50s, well below normal (68°).

As we get into next week, there will be some frost and freeze potential, so be aware if you’ve started planting. Otherwise, though, it looks like an extended period of mostly quiet weather is in the offing — good news for this rain-weary populace.

We’ll cool off some on Friday as a backdoor cold front stalls out across the area. We could see quite a spread in temperatures across a short distance; while the forecast for the Charleston metro area is in the mid-to-upper 60s, it could be much cooler north of the front in northern Berkeley County. There will be a chance of a shower or two in the afternoon, but nothing too out-of-band (and definitely nowhere near the recent rains).

By Saturday, that stalled front lifts north across the area as a warm front, and we return to the mid-to-upper 70s across the area. Saturday’s the pick day with dry weather expected and scattered clouds. Sunday may feature a few showers with temperatures approaching 80° in the afternoon.

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 have a chilly but mostly sunny weekend ahead. Now all we have to do is just hang in there through Friday as showers taper off throughout the day as the cold front slowly moves through the area and gets offshore. Temperatures will remain pretty chilly — only expect highs to top out around 50° tomorrow as the front moves by and cooler air begins filtering in.

Skies will clear Friday evening and overnight, and by Saturday, expect mostly sunny skies with high temperatures peaking around 50° as chilly high pressure moves over the region. Clear skies overnight Saturday should allow temperatures to drop to the low-to-mid-30s by Sunday morning, with freezing temperatures possible inland from the coast. The airmass will modify a little bit Sunday, and highs should warm into the mid-50s under mostly sunny skies.

Unsettled weather will continue for Friday and into Valentine’s weekend as the overall pattern remains quite…well, gross.

We start Friday out with dense fog blanketing coastal areas and some showers in the area. (Use those low beams.) Showers will be off and on throughout the day. Temperatures are not going to move a whole heck of a lot overall as high pressure wedges down into South Carolina and Georgia, setting up cold air damming that will characterize much of the rest of the weekend’s weather. The forecast high of 57° at the Charleston airport should be realized fairly early in the day before the wedge front slides through.

Moisture overrunning the cold air damming wedge will keep clouds and rain in the forecast for much of the weekend. It’s unlikely that it will rain all the time, but it could rain at any time. Temperatures will run several degrees below normal beneath the cold wedge, but while it will feel chilly, temperatures will remain far too warm for any precipitation type issues here in the Lowcountry.

After a few chilly but dry days, the rain’s back in the weather picture for Friday ahead of a cold front. It’ll be a little warmer with highs around 60° mid-afternoon before the front gets through. Rain chances decrease some for Saturday morning, but then ramp back up as more upper-level energy and surface low pressure approach the area. Saturday will be on the chilly side with highs just topping out in the low 50s. High pressure returns for Sunday. Clouds will hang around but there should be some peeks of sun as well, and that will help us warm a little into the mid-50s.

Chilly high pressure will continue to build into the area tonight into Friday, bringing freezing temperatures very close to the coast to start the last day of the work week. Temperatures will struggle to reach 50° despite full sunshine. Expect mostly sunny skies to prevail through Saturday as temperatures moderate back into the mid-50s in the afternoon. Our next storm system begins to affect the area possibly as early as late Saturday night, with rain likely on Sunday. Can’t rule out a few rumbles of thunder, either. It’ll be noticeably warmer — highs in the mid-60s will be common Sunday in the warm sector of the storm system before it moves through late Sunday into early Monday.
