Weekend forecast: "Cooler" with a little better shot at afternoon showers and thunderstorms
The oppressive ridge of high pressure that drove temperatures into the danger zone repeatedly this past week is a thing of the past, replaced by a trough digging in from the north. Highs top out in the low 90s with heat indices around 100° each afternoon before thunderstorms develop.
An area in the tropics also has a 70% chance of development in the next seven days as it moves westward toward the Lesser Antilles. No imminent threat to the Lowcountry, but it’s worth watching.
