Hello everyone! Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Friday, May 3rd, 2024, and a look at the upcoming weekend too! Get ready for another foggy start across much of the area Friday morning, as conditions appear favorable once again for some dense fog to develop and potentially have some commute impacts.

Once again, if you’re encountering fog, slow down and use those low beams.

Once fog clears by mid-morning, expect generally partly cloudy skies, with highs topping out once again in the mid-80s on Friday afternoon.

A few inland spots could see a shower or storm, but the vast majority of us stay rain-free.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t last for us heading into the weekend.

High pressure aloft will break down in time for Saturday.

Some energy moving into the area will allow for isolated to scattered thunderstorms to break out, particularly in the afternoon and early evening.

It won’t rain all day in any one location, but having a backup indoor plan for your outdoor plans is a smart call.

With the scattering of storms, expect highs to run a couple degrees cooler on Saturday, but still in the mid-80s.

Sunday looks similar, with a slightly better chance of seeing some storms in the afternoon than on Saturday, so make sure you’ve got those backup plans ready to go one more time.

Once again, expect lows in the mid-to-upper 60s to yield to mid-80s highs in the afternoon outside of those thunderstorms.

And from there it turns hot.

Mid-90s may be in the cards by the middle of next week as we get a solid summer preview.

And I’ll leave that up to you to whether that’s a good or bad thing.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for May 3, 2024.
