Thursday could feature a few showers and storms brushing the coast as low pressure tries to organize along a stationary front that’s been lingering offshore for the past few days. It’ll otherwise be a fairly standard warm June day — lows in the low 70s yielding to highs around 90° in the afternoon under a mix of sun and clouds. Dewpoints in the upper 60s will help keep heat indices from getting too far out of hand, thankfully.

Mother Nature will come out throwing heat this weekend — thankfully coming along with lower dewpoints than we typically see in summertime. A “cold” front swings through during the day Friday, and while the airmass will trend drier, it’ll still be quite warm — highs in the mid-90s are expected. Thankfully, the drier air keeps heat indices within a degree or two of the air temperature. Sunshine will be in abundance, with the dry, sinking air keeping cloud cover at a minimum.

We’ll keep this going into the weekend. Saturday will be the “cooler” of the two days, but still plenty warm with highs reaching the low to mid-90s under mostly sunny skies. Sunday turns a little warmer and a touch more humid, with highs solidly in the mid-90s under mostly sunny skies once again. The next shower or thunderstorm chance arrives Monday afternoon as dewpoints continue to climb heading into next week.

We’ll close out May with plenty of sun, temperatures generally near if not slightly below normal (especially in the mornings), and reasonably low humidity. Friday looks to run a little warmer than Thursday did, but the northerly breeze will keep the air on the dry side as dewpoints fall into the low 50s during the height of the afternoon. Expect mostly sunny skies, with just a few passing clouds as moisture remains a little tough to come by.

Saturday will be one more really nice day before a warming trend kicks in beginning Sunday. Temperatures on Saturday will once again bottom out in the low 60s, with highs in the mid-80s in the afternoon. Dewpoints will creep up a couple degrees, but it should still feel plenty comfortable outside as relative humidity values drop below 35% in the afternoon. Dewpoints begin to rebound to more June-like levels on Sunday as high pressure starts to slip offshore. Expect a milder start to Sunday with lows bottoming out in the mid-60s, warming to the mid-80s in the afternoon with a little bit more mugginess in the air as dewpoints return to the 60s. This warming trend continues into next week, with highs returning to the 90s and slight afternoon shower and thunderstorm chances coming along for the ride as well. But first, we have a beautiful weekend to enjoy — so enjoy it!

A dry front is getting through tonight, and that will open the door for a really pleasant ending to May. Temperatures start in the low-to-mid-60s, which is a few degrees below normal for May 30. We’ll warm to the mid-80s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies, right near climatological norms for this point in the year. Dewpoints will mix out to around 50° during the day, which should keep the warmth more on the comfortable side than not.

After a warm but quiet day Thursday, unsettled weather starts to work back into the area beginning Friday and continuing over the weekend.

We start Friday in the upper 60s to around 70°, warmer toward the beaches. We should see highs peak in the mid-to-upper 80s despite increasing cloud cover ahead of a disturbance that’ll bring some slight rain chances into the area on Friday evening into the overnight. It is also possible we may see a stray shower or storm midday as a decaying thunderstorm complex moves across the area. We’ll monitor precipitation trends throughout the day; keep rain gear handy just in case.

Shower and thunderstorm chances tick up for Saturday. It doesn’t look like an all-day rainout, but there will be periods of unsettled weather throughout the day, so be on guard for outdoor activities having to come indoors due to lightning and maybe even a strong to severe storm or two with damaging wind gusts the main concern. Temperatures will stay warm and muggy: Expect lows in the low 70s to yield to highs in the mid-to-upper 80s once again in the afternoon.

A front gets through late Saturday, and that leaves us with a slightly cooler Sunday with highs reaching just the low-to-mid-80s. However, periods of showers and thunderstorms will still be possible, and a couple of those could still be on the strong side. Keep rain plans front-of-mind for your Sunday as well.

Thursday brings us a brief respite from the periods of storms that have punctuated the past few days as high pressure builds in. Temperatures start in the mid-60s, warming to the mid-80s in the afternoon. Dewpoints will run a couple degrees cooler than they did on Wednesday, so it won’t feel quite as humid.

After a stormy Thursday that, aside from a report of quarter-size hail in Goose Creek, was generally benign for the Charleston metro, a couple more rounds of unsettled weather arrive Friday before a beautiful weekend.

We get off to a warm start on Thursday — expect lows to only bottom out in the low to perhaps mid-70s with highs topping out in the low 90s and humidity making it feel closer to the upper 90s. The main weather story, though, will be the risk for some strong to severe thunderstorms moving through Thursday afternoon and into the evening. These could pack strong and potentially damaging wind gusts along with large hail. Exact timing is still unclear, but there is a risk these could coincide with the commute, so we’ll want to watch them closely. Stay close to reliable weather sources throughout the day for updates.

Get ready for another foggy start across much of the area Friday morning, as conditions appear favorable once again for some dense fog to develop and potentially have some commute impacts. Once again, if you’re encountering fog, slow down and use those low beams.

Once fog clears by mid-morning, expect generally partly cloudy skies with highs topping out once again in the mid-80s on Friday afternoon. A few inland spots could see a shower or storm, but the vast majority of us stay rain-free.

High pressure aloft will break down in time for Saturday, and some energy moving into the area will allow for isolated to scattered thunderstorms to break out particularly in the afternoon and early evening. It won’t rain all day in any one location, but having a backup indoor plan for your outdoor plans is a smart call. With the scattering of storms, expect highs to run a couple degrees cooler on Saturday, but still in the mid-80s. Sunday looks similar, with a slightly better chance of seeing some storms in the afternoon than on Saturday. Once again, expect lows in the mid-to-upper 60s to yield to mid-80s highs in the afternoon outside of thunderstorms.

From here, it turns hot…mid-90s may be in the cards by the middle of next week as we get a solid summer preview. (Whether that’s a good or bad thing is a thought exercise left to the reader.)

We’ll wake up to some fog in the area on Thursday morning, with some patches of dense fog not out of the question. This might have some commute impacts, to be ready to allow a little extra time to get where you are going tomorrow morning. Be sure to use low beams in fog, even if the sun is out — you want to be seen — but avoid the high beams as they may act to blind you.

Fog looks to scour out around 9-10am or so, and we should be in for a partly cloudy to mostly sunny day across the Lowcountry with temperatures rising to the mid-80s in the afternoon. Aside from the fog, there are no other weather concerns of note.
