Hello everyone, Jarrett Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Thursday, November 30th, 2023, as well as a peek at Friday and the weekend.

Get ready for another chilly night heading into Thursday morning.

We’ll have one more round of freezing temperatures away from the coast, with frost a possibility across much of the metro as well.

You might be wondering why there isn’t a freeze warning or a frost advisory or anything like that.

Well, Wednesday morning’s widespread freeze ended the growing season, and so the National Weather Service will not issue frost and freeze alerts again until the season restarts in March.

Still, keep plants and pets inside overnight.

Thursday will then warm into the low to mid-60s under partly cloudy skies, a few degrees warmer than we felt on Wednesday.

High pressure will then slip offshore, turning nature’s heat pump back on.

We start Friday in the upper 40s, start change from where we’ve been.

High temperatures are reaching the mid-70s, with the warm and moist air mass starting to take hold, and our lows are going to be in the 60s, basically the highs that we’ve had over the last few days.

This will come at a cost, though, with shower chances increasing as we head into Friday afternoon.

70s will continue over the weekend, but so do the shower chances as we sit ahead of a slow-moving, if not stalled, cold front, and deep moisture continues to pump into the area.

Then add a couple disturbances aloft, and you’ve got shower chances.

Stay tuned to forecast updates as we fine-tune the shower chances and the timing for the weekend.

There’s going to be breaks at times, but you’re going to want the rain gear, too.

And finally, November 30th marks the end of hurricane season.

Congratulations, everyone, we made it! We never did get Vince and Whitney, but we still landed 20 named storms, which is fourth on record since 1950.

There were 7 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes, and that’s generally right in line with what we would see in a typical Atlantic season.

The number of named storms is impressive, considering El Nino typically suppresses tropical development, but the Atlantic was just steaming hot, and those warm waters won out.

But the most important stat, though, is despite our brush with Adalia, the Coburg cow stayed up for the entire hurricane season.

And that is great news.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for November 30th, 2023.

I’m Jared Smith.
