Sunday’s forecast features another warm and muggy late-August day. Temperatures will top out in the low 90s and heat indices will peak around 102-103°. We continue to monitor the progress of Tropical Depression Ten near the Yucatan Peninsula as well.

Heat peaks on Saturday – expect heat indices approaching 110° – with a few thunderstorms in the afternoon. Sunday will be another warm and muggy day, but changes are in store as a front approaches the area and stalls out, helping to increase coverage of showers and thunderstorms. We’re also keeping an eye on the tropics as a budding tropical cyclone gets its act together in the C...

We’re back in the heat and humidity for Friday and the weekend, but pattern changes will bring a chance for storms by Sunday. Also, watching an area in the Gulf for tropical development.

We have one more day of less humid weather in store for Thursday before the heat pump gets going for Friday into the weekend. Highs on Thursday top out in the low 90s, while highs on Friday top out in the mid-90s and could reach the upper 90s on Saturday. Heat indices could reach advisory thresholds on Saturday, too. Next rain chance is Sunday as we turn a little more unsettled heading into next w...

Wednesday could start out with a couple showers, but it’ll be worth it as skies clear by late morning and dewpoints drop into the low-to-mid-60s, making for a rather comfortably warm day across the area. Highs top out in the upper 80s to around 90°, and the heat index won’t be a factor. Lower humidity continues on Thursday before dewpoints head back into the low 70s Friday, combining w...

Tuesday will bring another day of mid-90s air temperatures and heat indices over 105° as high pressure remains in firm control aloft. A front will backdoor into the area Wednesday, sending air temperatures and dewpoints somewhat noticeably lower for a nice reprieve from the seemingly relentless heat and humidity of the past couple months. We look to stay rain-free through Saturday. We also get a l...

High pressure will keep storm chances to a minimum and temperatures above normal this week. Expect highs in the low 90s on Monday, with even warmer temperatures for Tuesday before a bit of a mid-week “cool-off.” Next storm chances arrive later in the upcoming weekend. Oh, and the tropics are nuts. Thankfully, nothing threatening us here in the Lowcountry. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/...

Fairly standard mid-August fare is in store for Sunday as temperatures start in the mid-70s and head toward 90° in the afternoon with a few storms possible. Note: Recorded this one on the phone this evening, so it won’t be nearly as polished as most episodes. Back in the “studio” tomorrow. Transcript

Fairly standard August weather is on tap for the upcoming weekend. Expect temperatures to head into the low-to-mid-90s on Saturday and the low 90s on Sunday, with heat indices generally running around 100-101° both days. A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible, but widespread coverage is not expected and not everyone will see a storm. Details: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcript

We’ve got a quiet Friday ahead under mostly sunny skies as ridging builds in aloft with some drier air moving by. Highs top out in the low 90s, but dewpoints in the upper 60s should keep heat indices from going too crazy. Storms return to the forecast for Saturday and again on Sunday, though they will be generally scattered in nature, and no one location will see rain all day. Forecast post:...

Off and on showers and thunderstorms are possible on Thursday, particularly in the afternoon, as a front remains stalled to our west and we stay in a deep moisture plume for one more day. Temperatures top out in the low 90s before storms kick in. Friday will be much sunnier, but the respite is short-lived as on and off unsettled weather returns for the weekend. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023&h...

Temperatures will top out well below where they have been as of late, only reaching the upper 80s to around 90° before thunderstorms fire within a moist airmass as we sit between the seabreeze and a stalled front to the west. We keep the unsettled weather heading into Thursday before more normal afternoon isolated storm chances return to the forecast for Friday. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023&...

One more advisory-level-hot day is coming up for Tuesday, but an incoming front will increase shower and thunderstorm chances as we head into the late afternoon and evening hours. Watch for a couple strong storms with gusty winds the main concern. We stay unsettled – but “cooler” – for the rest of mid-week before drying out a little bit for Friday into the weekend. Forecast...

We’re getting back off to a hot start on Monday with another Heat Advisory in place for heat indices approaching 110°. Thunderstorm chances start to head up Tuesday, though, and a front will help cool things off ever so slightly as we get into the middle of the week. A more standard summertime configuration returns in time for the weekend. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcrip...

More hot weather is expected over the weekend, with lows in the mid-to-upper 70s each morning and mid-to-upper 90s each afternoon. Heat indices could approach 110° particularly on Sunday, and this may require a Heat Advisory. Only an isolated storm or two is expected each afternoon, so don’t count on any convective heat relief, either. Programming note: Barring major changes to Sunday’...

Friday looks to be a bit on the stormy side, particularly in the afternoon and evening hours as a disturbance moves by the area. Watch for periods of heavy rain, and a couple storms could even produce some wind damage. We’ll see highs top out well into the 90s in the afternoon with heat indices approaching 105-110°. More traditional summertime weather enters the picture for the weekend, with...

We’re back in the upper 90s on Thursday with mid-70s dewpoints yielding heat indices around 105-110°, solidly in the danger zone for heat exhaustion. A few storms will be possible, but the best chance arrives Friday as a disturbance moves by. More standard storm chances – and continued heat and humidity – hang around for the weekend. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Tra...

We get a brief reprieve from the more stifling humidity we’ve felt recently as dewpoints look to possibly mix down to the upper 60s in the afternoon, keeping heat indices at bay somewhat and thunderstorm chances to a minimum. Still, Wednesday will be a hot day with highs topping out in the mid-90s. Storms and 105-110°+ heat indices return for Thursday and Friday. Forecast post: chswx.com/blo...

Another hot day is on tap for Tuesday before another thunderstorm complex affects the area in the late afternoon and evening hours. The risk for severe weather is lower, though. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcript

We get the new work week off to a hot start as temperatures head to the upper 90s on Monday before a thunderstorm complex approaches the area during the evening hours. We stay fairly hot on Tuesday before a front provides a brief reprieve for Wednesday. Thereafter, a trough returns with thunderstorms Thursday into Friday as we stay warm and muggy. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcr...

A sunny and warm Sunday is in store as high temperatures top out in the low 90s with heat indices around 100-101. Rain chances are looking quite miniscule, especially for this point in the year. Transcript

The first weekend of August will be about what one would expect for around here: Highs in the low 90s, heat indices in the upper 90s to around 100, and a chance for a few thunderstorms each afternoon. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcript

Showers and thunderstorms will feature prominently in Friday’s forecast at times as a front meanders in and disturbances swing by aloft. Expect highs in the mid-80s due to cloud cover and thunderstorms in the area. We’re back in the 90s for the weekend and beyond with scattered showers and storms possible much of the day Saturday and a more traditional afternoon thunderstorm regime ret...

Thursday will feature one more day of unseasonably low dewpoints with highs headed to the upper 80s under a mix of sun and clouds. Friday looks quite unsettled, with continued unsettled weather at times for the weekend. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcript

Wednesday will feel “refreshing” by early August standards as lows bottom out in the low 70s. Highs top out in the mid-80s with just an isolated storm or two on the seabreeze. We keep this going into Thursday before deep moisture returns Friday with more widespread showers and thunderstorms. Forecast post: chswx.com/blog/2023… Transcript
