Hello everyone! Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Thursday, October 26th, 2023.

Warm and quiet conditions continue on Thursday as high pressure at the surface and aloft remain the main features driving our local sensible weather.

We start Thursday in the low 60s, several degrees above normal, before warming to around 80 degrees in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies.

There will be a risk for some minor coastal flooding around the 649 PM high tide, so if your evening commute involves areas around the Citadel or MUSC, you may encounter some saltwater, so just be ready for that and be ready to reroute around that, you don’t want to be driving through saltwater.

We’ll keep this going for Friday into the weekend.

In fact, we should turn a click or two warmer even over the weekend, thanks to generally fewer clouds.

Overall, expect lows in the low 60s on Friday before they scale back just a little bit to the upper 50s for Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the low 80s each afternoon.

Coastal flooding will remain a concern as well around times of high tide, so keep an ear out for possible coastal flood advisories from the National Weather Service.

That’ll keep you aware of those times when navigation downtown could be tricky.

Finally, we’ll take a peek out into the tropical Atlantic.

Hurricane Tammy is overachieving a little bit on intensity, likely peaking Wednesday evening around 100 mph before starting to weaken on Thursday as it interacts with the front and loses tropical characteristics.

It’ll meander generally east of Bermuda over the weekend before starting to turn back eastward on Monday.

Suffice to say, Tammy represents no threat to the low country.

And elsewhere in the tropical Atlantic, there’s no areas of concern of note, and we should stay quiet for the foreseeable future.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for October 26, 2023.

I’m Jared Smith.
