Thursday's forecast: Still hot with a chance of strong afternoon thunderstorms
Thursday will once again feature heat indices approaching 110° in the Charleston metro area before a disturbance ripples by, which is expected to instigate some showers and thunderstorms. A few of those storms could be severe with gusty winds and large hail.
The heat wave peaks on Friday with air temperatures in the upper 90s and heat indices returning to 110°+ before scattered storms in the afternoon. As we get into the weekend, a trough digging in to our north makes the weather a bit more unsettled, but also a bit “cooler” as highs “only” top out around 90 by Sunday.
