Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Monday, May 6th, 2024 and the rest of the week ahead.

The upcoming week will be on the warm side as ridging aloft builds in, sending midweek temperatures well into the 90s and perhaps into record territory.

First though, we deal with another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms from Monday.

Temperatures on Monday start once again in the upper 60s to near 70, warming into the mid 80s as one last upper disturbance makes its way through.

We should see thunderstorms fire up around or a little after midday, and generally remain scattered in nature.

Few heavy downpours will be possible, and a strong storm can never be totally discounted near where boundaries collide, and on the flip side, some of y’all might not even see any rain at all.

After all, it’s that time of year.

The heat commences on Tuesday.

Temperatures head to near 90 in the afternoon with a few thunderstorms possible, though most of us should stay rain free.

Wednesday and Thursday could challenge record highs as temperatures rise into the low to mid 90s each afternoon.

The cap should hold on Wednesday, precluding shower and thunderstorm formation, and there’s only a slight chance of a little thunderstorm relief later on Thursday.

A cold front arrives Friday with scattered and numerous thunderstorms expected across the area, particularly as we get later into the afternoon and evening.

This will serve as our best rain chance since Monday for much of us.

One thing to keep an eye on for Friday will be the severe weather potential.

It looks low right now, but more data as the week goes on will shine a light on just what we can expect, so stay tuned.

The payoff, though, will be a much more seasonable late spring weekend of weather.

Expect lows on Saturday to start in the low 60s, almost 10 degrees cooler than they’re going to start on Friday.

We might even dip back into the 50s on Sunday morning.

Highs each afternoon will run in the low 80s, right near if not a touch below mid-May norms, and there will be plenty of sunshine to be had.

Fantastic Mother’s Day gift from Mother Nature, if I do say so myself.
