I hope all of you out there who celebrated Mother’s Day today had a wonderful day. It ended up being a pretty good weekend weather-wise, with much of the moisture staying suppressed to the south. Monday, however, will bring more substantial rain chances as a cold front pushes south and eastward. We should stay quiet through the morning, though by early afternoon we should start to see showers and a few thunderstorms develop, first along the seabreeze and then becoming more widespread as the front moves by later in the day into the evening. There’s a risk for one or two thunderstorms to become severe, with damaging wind gusts the main concern, though widespread severe weather is not expected. We could see some brief periods of heavy rain, but with relatively quick storm motions expected, they won’t be hanging around long enough to cause any flooding issues. Temperatures will run on the warm side of normal for mid-May, with highs potentially reaching the upper 80s before thunderstorms kick in.

One of the driest Aprils on record will come to a somewhat unsettled end this week as the pattern starts to finally flip toward something a little more favorable for rain chances. We’ll run a little cooler, too, especially as we start May.

Dry weather continues for the next few days, but we may start to see the pattern begin to flip this weekend to something a little wetter to close out April.

Increasingly warm and dry weather will be the main story this week as stacked high pressure remains the primary weather driver across the Southeast, including the Lowcountry. Keep the sprinkler systems cued up this week as there’s no rain in sight for at least the next seven days with not a lot of moisture and plenty of sinking air to inhibit shower and thunderstorm development. By the end of the week, we could be approaching the 90s once again, with record highs a possibility.

A cold front coming through overnight Sunday into early Monday morning will send temperatures to a more seasonable place for early April through mid-week, though it’ll be a bit cloudier, too. Shower chances return for the second half of the work week before more sunshine and 80s return for the weekend.

We’ll close March and open April on a quiet and comfortable note with plenty of sunshine and seasonably warm temperatures, especially as we head into midweek.

The last full week of March promises quite a big swing in temperatures from seemingly day to day as a series of fronts affect the area. We’ll have a few shots at showers, too, but they don’t look likely to offer much in the way of drought relief.

The week ahead gets off to a bit of a rough start as a potent cold front moves through the area Monday, bringing the first significant severe weather threat of 2026 to the Lowcountry. From there, temperatures fall off drastically, with some frost and freeze issues possible especially inland. We’ll warm back up heading into the weekend, though.

The stretch of abnormally warm, 80°+ days continues for the first half of the upcoming work week before a cold front knocks temperatures back a little bit as we head into the weekend.

High pressure wedging down from the northeast overnight will set up a cool and mostly cloudy Monday across the Lowcountry — another dip on the temperature rollercoaster after an already up-and-down weekend. Temperatures start in the upper 40s with some fog possible (especially near the coast, where sea fog has been an issue), but the persistent northeast breeze and cloud cover courtesy of some moisture overrunning the wedge will keep temperatures pinned to the low 60s in the afternoon.
