Humid days are here again: tropical moisture associated with a disturbance (which might become a tropical depression before coming ashore in Georgia tomorrow) will overspread the area, with showers and a few thunderstorms expected for a fair bit of the day as a result. It won’t rain all day at any one location — the rain will generally be off and on and be moving fairly quickly — so generally expect a half-inch of rain in most spots. A few locations could see locally heavier rainfall in the wetter storms. Thankfully, severe weather and flooding don’t appear to be major issues this go-around. Temperatures start in the low 70s, warming to the upper 80s between storms. It’ll be a muggy day as dewpoints surge into the low 70s by morning, with heat indices in the mid-90s expected.

High pressure gets into a typical summertime configuration starting Saturday, and we’ll definitely be feeling it as lows bottom out only in the mid-70s. The 90s return Saturday afternoon and will have some staying power through the weekend and well into next week, too. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon along and ahead of the seabreeze, with locally heavy rain possible but severe weather generally not expected. Just be ready to bring outdoor activities inside if a thunderstorm approaches your location.

Thursday looks to remain mostly quiet over the area, though a few showers will be possible near the coast once again during the morning as showers within onshore flow reach land and dissipate in drier air. We start the day around 70° and warm to the upper 80s in the afternoon, much like the past few days. If you’ve been enjoying the somewhat lower-humidity mornings that we’ve had lately, enjoy this tomorrow morning because we’re shifting back into more traditional mid-to-late-June dewpoints starting Friday.

Temperatures climb fairly sharply before dropping off back toward normal as we get into Friday and the weekend. Friday will start around 70°, warming to the mid-90s in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies as ridging builds aloft. We make a run toward the Lachey mark on Saturday as highs top out near 98° away from the coast. Dewpoints in the low 70s will contribute to heat indices approaching 104° or so during the height of the afternoon, so be sure that you’re getting enough hydration and taking breaks if you’re going to spend time outdoors. Temperatures back off a bit for Sunday as the wind turns more onshore, but will still be plenty of warm with highs around 90°.

We’ll stay rain-free Friday, but the standard afternoon chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms re-enters the weather picture on Saturday into Sunday as another front stalls out nearby. Overall, though, we should see more sunshine than not. Try to stay cool!

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.
