Hello everyone, Jarrett Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Thursday, May 2nd, 2024, with a look ahead at Friday and the weekend too.

We’ll wake up to some fog in the area on Thursday morning, with some patches of dense fog not out of the question either.

This might have some commute impacts, so be ready to allow a little extra time to get to where you’re going tomorrow morning.

Be sure to use the low beams and fog, even if the sun is out.

After all, you want to be seen, but avoid the high beams as they may act to blind you and others.

Fog looks to scour out around 9-10am, and we should be in for a partly cloudy and mostly sunny day across the Lowcountry, with temperatures rising to the mid 80s in the afternoon.

Aside from the fog, there are no other weather concerns of note for Thursday.

Friday and the weekend will remain on the warm side of normal, especially to start the period.

High pressure aloft will remain in place for one more day on Friday, with mostly sunny skies and mid 80s expected.

This ridge of high pressure starts to break down on Saturday, allowing for a few pop-up storms on the sea breeze in the afternoon.

Temperatures Saturday will run a couple degrees cooler than they did on Friday, but still expect them to run generally in the mid 80s.

A little bit more storm coverage is expected on Sunday, but a total washout in any one spot is not expected, just be ready to move outdoor activities inside.

And once again we’ll top out in the low to mid 80s.

And finally, an early heads up on some hot weather incoming.

Temperatures skyrocket well above normal as we head into next week, so get ready for a return to the 90s by Tuesday as high pressure anchors in the Atlantic, a pattern more reminiscent of summer.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for May 2nd, 2024.

I’m Jared Smith.
