Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Monday, May 13th, 2024 and the rest of the upcoming workweek.

Well, I hope everybody got to enjoy this fine Mother’s Day weekend because we are getting back to storms for a good chunk of the upcoming week.

We start Monday on a dry note, but shower and storm chances will increase as the disturbance moves across the Gulf Coast states towards the East Coast throughout the day.

We start Monday in the low 60s, warming to the low 80s in the afternoon with clouds on the increase ahead of shower and thunderstorm chances later in the day.

These shower and storm chances continue to head up overnight and Tuesday looks decidedly not fun.

Heavy rain on the order of 2-3 inches will be possible as numerous thunderstorms develop and move across the area.

This could have at least morning commute impacts, and trends and guidance suggest one round clears the area before another round fires off for the evening commute.

A severe storm or two can’t be ruled out either, but the greater risk appears to be from heavy rainfall and the potential for some minor flooding.

Temperatures start warming around Tuesday, generally in the mid 60s, but only head to the low 80s in the afternoon given the clouds and rain that are expected.

Once Tuesday’s disturbance gets offshore, rain chances diminish, but don’t vanish entirely on Wednesday.

Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible with some leftover vorticity aloft and plentiful moisture in place.

Outside of storms, it will turn fairly warm, expect highs in the mid to upper 80s Wednesday afternoon.

A mid-level ridge nudges into the area briefly on Thursday, squelching thunderstorm chances and allowing highs to top out generally in the mid 80s under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies.

The rest of it is short though, as the active pattern brings another disturbance, or a series of them, into the area for Friday and the weekend, generating at least scattered shower and thunderstorm chances.

Highs generally run in the mid to upper 80s, with lows in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees being fairly common.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for May 13th, 2024.
