Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Thursday, June 22nd, 2023, as well as a peek at your Friday and the upcoming weekend.

Now, at risk of sounding like a broken Nickelback record, we have more off and on thunderstorms in store for Thursday.

We could see a few rounds of storms, in fact, as disturbances round the incredibly annoying upper low that continues to park over the southeastern U.S.

While the greatest concentration of rain should be found near a warm front that looks to be parked a little bit inland, some spots may yet see some very heavy rain that could lead to some localized flooding.

Additionally, a strong or severe storm or two with gusty winds and maybe some hail can’t be ruled out either.

The bottom line?

Another day where you’re going to need the rain gear, although it will not be raining all the time either.

Changes are coming though, and we’ll begin to see them on Friday with a little less coverage of storms expected as the low finally dislodges from the block and starts to move away.

We’ll see good progress with this on Saturday as we begin to, at least briefly, return to a more typical summertime setup with just a scattering of afternoon storms and slightly warmer temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.

By Sunday, we’re back in the 90s with just an isolated storm or two expected in the afternoon as some drier air briefly takes residence across the area.

And you know, just speaking personally, I gotta tell you, I’m loving the quieter weekends as of late.

Looking out in the tropics, Tropical Storm Brad is approaching the lesser Antilles, a 65 mile an hour winds.

It’s likely peaked in intensity as wind shears should begin to really start to work on the storm, especially after it passes through the lesser Antilles late on Thursday.

Brett is forecast to succumb to the aforementioned shear by Saturday evening, opening back up into a wave as it continues to move through the Caribbean.

Meanwhile, InVest 93L, which is a few hundred miles to the east of Brett, still has an 80% chance to become a tropical cyclone within the next week as it continues to move westward across the central Atlantic.

If it develops and attains tropical storm strength, it will be named Cindy.

Guidance does suggest that 93L, or whatever it becomes, runs into a similar wall of wind shear by the middle of next week, tearing the storm apart.

And so the bottom line is this, Brett and 93L do not pose any threat to the Lowcountry.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for June 22nd, 2023.

I’m Jared Smith.
