Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Monday, October 23rd, 2023 and the week ahead.

Deep layer high pressure will be the dominant feature this week, keeping our weather generally quiet and after Monday, increasingly on the warm side of normal.

Cooler air will push in overnight Sunday into Monday, starting us around 50 degrees or so on average across the metro area before warming into the low 70s in the afternoon.

Tuesday will generally be similar, with a slightly cooler start and a slightly warmer finish as the air mass begins to modify.

We could be approaching 80 degrees by Wednesday, and should see highs in the low 80s from Thursday on into the weekend, with skies varying from mostly sunny to partly cloudy at times.

Rain is not expected as the atmosphere will be devoid of deep moisture beyond upper 50s to low 60s dew point air at the surface.

It may be November before we see rain here, by the way, and is a very reasonable possibility at this point.

The only problem may end up being some periods of minor coastal flooding with some high tides this week, possibly starting as early as Tuesday.

The most latest possible round of coastal flooding is courtesy of persistent northeasterly winds and the upcoming full moon this weekend.

It’s not a done deal yet as guidance this far out can be iffy at best, but the ingredients will be there for at least a little saltwater and roads at times.

Stay alert to possible coastal flood advisories from the National Weather Service.

In the tropics, Tammy is lifting away from the Leeward Islands as a hurricane.

It should remain a hurricane into early next week before it begins to encounter more shear and is eventually turned exotropical by a trough.

The hurricane’s track does show it bending back westward by midweek, but that should be reasonably short-lived.

And Tammy still does not look like a concern for us here at home, but if that changes, I’ll let you know.

Elsewhere in the tropics, the Hurricane Center is monitoring an area near Nicaragua that will likely become a depression before coming ashore there later this week.

It too will be relatively short-lived and poses no risk to us here at home either.

As a reminder, the Atlantic hurricane season goes until November 30th, so we’ve only got a few more weeks to go.

So hang in there, we’ll keep an eye on things, and make sure nothing misbehaves here at home.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for October 23rd, 2023.
