Tuesday: Turning warmer with a bit more cloud cover
Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Tuesday, February 27th, 2024.
We turn even warmer on Tuesday as high pressure moves further offshore and more warmer air is drawn northward.
The temperature is going to start several degrees above normal, generally in the low 50s, and even warmer closer to the coast.
From there, we’ll head well into the 70s in the afternoon away from the coast despite an uptick in cloud cover compared to Monday as a disturbance moves by to the north.
We’ll stay out of the rain with this one, though.
Temperatures will run a little on the breezy side as well, and that’s going to be a theme for the rest of the week.
The early week warmth peaks Wednesday ahead of a cold front.
Temperatures on Wednesday start roughly 15 degrees warmer than normal as temperatures get close to 80 degrees in the afternoon away from the much cooler coastline.
A diminishing line of showers should move by Wednesday evening, marking the front’s passage.
We’ll sure feel it on Thursday as we wake up to temperatures some 30 degrees cooler than their peak on Wednesday afternoon.
Breezy northeast winds with broken cloud cover are going to keep highs just to around 60 degrees in the afternoon.
Friday’s forecast remains somewhat unclear, but for now, plan for another day in the mid-60s with some showers, particularly in the afternoon into the evening, as a trough or some sort of low pressure center sets up offshore.
This is one of the several model disagreements we’re sorting through right now.
As you can imagine, details for the weekend forecast are still as clear as mud at this point, so stay tuned to forecast updates as we get closer into the weekend and can untangle more of the data.
And that was Charleston Weather Daily for February 27th, 2024.
