Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Tuesday, September 5th, 2023, and the rest of the abbreviated, well, at least for some of you, work week.

Well, I hope everybody enjoyed that rather gorgeous Labor Day weekend, especially the early part with those mid-80s highs and low humidity.

That was nice.

But we’re back to heat as we head back to work and school on Tuesday, as highs head into the low to mid-90s under partly cloudy skies.

My pressure ridging overhead will keep a lid on any showers and thunderstorms, and we should generally not expect to see any storms through Thursday as temperatures head back towards 95 degrees each afternoon.

Expect heat indices to begin to flirt with 100 degrees by Wednesday as dew points climb back to about 70 degrees or so.

As we head into Friday, we should start to see that ridging weaken a touch, and that’ll allow a storm or two to fire on the sea breeze in the afternoon.

Coverage should increase a little each afternoon over the weekend, but still nothing that should cause you to cancel plans.

The tropics remain quite busy, with three areas of interest for possible development under scrutiny by the National Hurricane Center.

But the one that we’re going to be probably most interested in, though, is an area in the central Atlantic that is a virtual lock to develop in the next day or so as it moves westward towards the Leedward Islands, and it has been tagged by the Hurricane Center as InVEST 95L.

Given its latitude and overall westward trend, it is certainly something that we’ll want to watch here on the East Coast.

Right now the global model ensembles are indicating an opportunity for it to turn out to sea, which we’d obviously love to see, but it’s very early yet.

The good news is, though, is that there is plenty of time to watch it, and as a result, there’s no imminent tropical concerns for the Lowcountry.

Just enjoy the sunshine.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for September 5th, 2023.
