Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Monday, March 18th, 2024, along with a look at the week ahead.

And yes, the podcast is back after a couple weeks of hiatus, first for a work trip and then for illness.

So now that we got all that behind us, let’s get into the forecast.

Monday could start with a few showers as a cold front moves by, but it should otherwise be a rain-free and increasingly sunny day.

Temperatures will peak early in the low 70s, but we should see temperatures start to cool off as we get into Monday afternoon and especially Monday evening.

We’ll wake up Tuesday in the upper 30s in many spots, warming to the low 60s in the afternoon despite full sunshine.

Suffice to say, that’s well below normal, and it certainly won’t feel like the first day of astronomical spring, but so it goes.

The chill is short-lived, though, as winds go southwesterly overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.

We wake up in the mid-40s on Wednesday and warm to the mid-70s under mostly sunny skies, a positively nice day in the low country.

And Thursday will be similar, albeit with a few more clouds and maybe even a bit of a warmer start.

The next rain chance looks to arrive Friday afternoon as low pressure traverses the area.

Right now, it looks like we stay on the cool side of the system, so the rain will generally be steady in nature and not so much of the convective variety.

The aforementioned low pivots northward and strafes the coast over the weekend, sending rain chances downward during the day Saturday and yielding a seasonable and quiet Sunday.

But we could deal with some coastal impacts from the low pressure system, particularly in the wind department, but there’s still some timing and positioning issues to work out in the models, so stay tuned to forecast updates throughout the week.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for March 18th, 2024.
