Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for the first day of climatological spring, Friday, March 1st, 2024, along with the upcoming weekend.

We’ll get March off to a fairly wet start on Friday, as moisture overruns the area throughout the day and low pressure develops nearby.

Temperature wise, you start the day within range of normal, generally the upper 40s, but only warm to the mid 60s in the afternoon as rain showers increase throughout the day.

There could be some pockets of heavy rain at times, particularly depending on the positioning of a developing low pressure system, but right now the best risk for the heaviest rain looks to stay offshore.

Still, it’ll be a day for the rain gear as rain looks to continue well into Friday night.

Many spots could record an inch of rain or more before Friday is all said and done.

Showers will gradually scatter out on Saturday as low pressure departs.

Though disturbances rippling in the mid-level flow over the area, we’ll keep a decent chance of some showers and maybe even a thunderstorm or two in play.

We’ll run warmer, with some sunshine peeking through at times.

Expect to start in the mid 50s, before warming to the low 70s in the afternoon.

Shower and storm chances persist into Saturday evening, but will taper off by Sunday morning, and Sunday is looking to be a rain-free day.

We’ll have a mix of clouds and sun and temperatures on the warm side.

Expect lows in the mid 50s once again to yield to highs in the low 70s in the afternoon.

The new work week will start with quiet weather, though shower chances will kick back up as we head into the meat of the week, with chances peaking on Wednesday.

Temperatures will run above normal through much of next week, though.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for March 1st, 2024.

I’m Jared Smith.
