Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Monday, June 5th, 2023, and a peek at your week ahead.

Warm weather fans, you’ll be happy to know that June returns this week.

After we topped out only at 75 on Sunday, highs rebounded into the mid-80s for Monday under partly cloudy skies.

And thereafter we turn a little warmer and more humid, with upper 80s to low 90s even possible, particularly Tuesday and Wednesday.

That too will also bring about isolated to scattered thunderstorm chances each afternoon along the sea breeze.

The best chance for storms as of right now looks to be Thursday evening, as some energy aloft looks to glance the area, and that might also send a front through.

Friday and Saturday do look a little cooler, generally mid-80s expected, before we warm back up for Sunday.

The coastal flooding threat will continue Monday and Tuesday, though it will be on a downward trend.

Monday evening’s high tide, which peaked at 8.37 feet mean low or low water at 9.24 pm, was a record not only for the month of June, but also the 13th highest tide on record at Charleston Harbor since records began in 1922.

We don’t look for a repeat performance on Monday as astronomical effects begin to wane and winds turn a little less favorable, but we could still see water levels peak well into moderate flood territory around the 10.02 pm high tide Monday evening.

Minor flooding also appears possible on Tuesday evening as well, with high tide peaking around 7.2 feet or so just before 11 pm.

So if you have travel plans for downtown especially the next two nights, around the hospital district for example, Lockwood Drive, places like that, be ready to find alternate routes.

Finally, a quick look at the tropics, and the tropics are, thankfully, quiet.

And we look to stay this way too for the upcoming week, as the Hurricane Center does not right now see any spots to be worried about for tropical development.
