A cold weekend is upon us as Arctic high pressure pays a visit. Temperatures top out in the 40s each afternoon after starting in the mid-to-upper 20s on Saturday morning and the low 20s on Sunday morning. After one more subfreezing start Monday morning, temperatures take a warmer turn for the new work week. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2024… Follow @chswx updates on the social Web: Mastodo...

Friday will be one more warm day before a very cold weekend. Expect highs in the low 60s with decreasing cloud cover and maybe a morning shower. The forecast appears on track for dangerous cold Saturday night into Sunday morning as lows head to the low 20s and wind chills flirt with single digits.

We’ll start Thursday well below freezing – generally mid-to-upper 20s away from the immediate coast – as calm winds and clear skies combine for good radiational cooling. Temperatures warm to the low 60s on Thursday as high pressure slips offshore, and we keep that warmth going through Friday afternoon before the bottom falls out of the mercury overnight Friday into Saturday morni...

Wednesday will be a good foreshadowing of the cold snap that’ll characterize the upcoming weekend: lows in the 20s followed by highs only in the 40s despite full sunshine. We warm up briefly Thursday afternoon into Friday before the next round of Arctic air plunges into the area, setting up a rather hard freeze for Saturday night and Sunday morning.

After a warm Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, temperatures cool off back toward normal for Tuesday as a front moves by. We chill out big time for Wednesday, warm back to normal for Thursday and Friday, then really chill out over the weekend, with pipe-busting cold possible all the way to the coast.

We’ll stay dry for much of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as we warm to the mid-60s in the afternoon. A few light showers will be possible closer to and after sunset. After a seasonable Tuesday, a couple very cold shots of air make their way into the Lowcountry for mid-week and again over the weekend.

Sunday’s looking good by January standards – plenty of sunshine, with temperatures warming from the mid-30s in the morning to the low 60s in the afternoon. We’ll keep that going for at least the first part of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day before showers return to the forecast Monday evening.

We will cool off and dry out for the first 2/3rds of the Martin Luther King Jr., Day long weekend before another storm system arrives later Monday into Tuesday, after which we’ll get quite chilly for a couple days.

Friday will bring another round of storms to the area, though the risk for severe weather will be less widespread than Tuesday saw. We’ll cool off behind that storm system for the weekend, with below-normal highs and partly cloudy skies.

Thursday will be a pleasant day with highs near 60° in the afternoon after a mid-30s start. Friday will be decidedly less pleasant as another storm system affects the area, which will once again bring along a risk for severe thunderstorms.

We get a couple days of quieter weather on Wednesday and Thursday before another storm system affects the area Friday, with another severe weather risk coming along for the ride (though not as bad as Tuesday’s!)

A potent storm system brings the risk for severe weather to the Lowcountry on Tuesday, with tidal flooding in the morning followed by strong and potentially damaging non-thunderstorm winds around midday into the afternoon before a squall line comes through with stronger winds and maybe a tornado or two through early evening. Stay weather-alert throughout the day, and make sure you have multiple wa...

Use Monday to bring in loose items and otherwise get ready for a potentially impactful day of weather on Tuesday with strong, gusty winds, periods of heavy rain, morning tidal flooding, and the risk for severe storms in the afternoon and evening.

Cooler weather returns Sunday under partly cloudy skies. Winds will once again be breezy, with gusts 25-30 MPH possible. Attention then turns to our next storm system which looks to arrive Tuesday with the potential for coastal flooding, strong winds, and severe weather.

We get the weekend off to a wet and windy start as a storm system moves through during the first half of Saturday. We should dry out by evening, though, yielding a rather pleasant (if not breezy) Sunday. From there, we continue to monitor the potential for fairly impactful weather on Tuesday.

A quiet and seasonably cool Friday gives way to a warm and rainy Saturday before quieting down Saturday evening into Sunday. We are still monitoring a storm system for Tuesday, which could bring heavy rain and wind impacts to the area.

High pressure returns Thursday after a wet Wednesday evening, drying us out and clearing our skies. Expect highs in the mid-50s with breezy northerly winds. High pressure hangs around Friday before giving way to storminess on Saturday, with some heavy rain possible. High pressure returns Sunday and Monday before giving way to what could be a fairly potent storm system for the eastern half of the c...

Wednesday gets started at or below freezing in most spots away from the coast. We’ll warm to the upper 50s as a storm system advances across the Gulf Coast, sending some showers our way during the afternoon and evening hours. We turn quiet for Thursday and Friday before the active pattern sends a more potent storm system our way for Saturday. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2024… Follow...

The first work week of 2024 will be generally chilly and mostly quiet, save for some showers moving through Wednesday evening.

Cool and generally quiet weather will continue to close out 2023. Watch the winds on Saturday, though. We warm up briefly on New Year’s Day before another front swings through. Programming note: The podcast is taking a couple days off thanks to the quiet weather. I’ll be back Monday evening.

Cooler air will blow in on Friday in the wake of a cold front. Expect temperatures to start around 40° and only rise to the mid-50s despite mostly sunny skies. Gusts 25-30 MPH aren’t out of the question, either. We stay generally quiet and rain-free through New Year’s Day.

Temperatures will run about 10° cooler on average Thursday as cooler and drier air works into the area. Cloud cover will be tapering as another front moves by, which chills us out even more for Friday and Saturday before rebounding a little on New Year’s Eve.

We’ve got one more day potentially reaching 70° on Wednesday as cooler and drier air starts to work into the area. By Friday, we’re back in the 50s and we’re probably not getting warmer than that to close out 2023. All appears quiet, though, and the weather’s looking good – if not a touch chilly – for New Year’s Eve festivities. Forecast post: chswx.com/bl...

Watch for flooding, especially in downtown Charleston, on Tuesday morning as heavy rain and high tide could coincide. Rain tapers off later Tuesday, and we start to dry out Wednesday. Weather should stay quiet – and turn increasingly chilly – to close out 2023.

Unsettled weather returns for Christmas Day, particularly in the afternoon and heading into the evening. We’ll keep rain around through Tuesday night before drying out and cooling off to close out 2023.
