Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with your Charleston weather forecast for Tuesday, May 14th, 2024.

Tuesday figures to be a fairly active weather day with a couple rounds of storm as expected.

First one will be ongoing as we wake up and commute.

Periods of heavy rain will be possible within thunderstorms, so be ready for delays in the morning.

One other twist will be in the form of a warm front that will lift north across the area as we get into mid-morning, and this could enhance low-level shear enough to where the environment might support a brief tornado, though this risk is fairly low, all things considered.

That first round of showers and thunderstorms should get offshore roughly around midday or so, and many of us will catch a break from the rain early Tuesday afternoon.

As we head into mid to late afternoon, though, expect additional scattered showers and thunderstorms to fire across the area.

There will be a damaging wind risk within the strongest storms, so you’ll want to keep an ear out for possible weather warnings.

Storms will be possible well into the evening before chances head back down around midnight or so.

Temperatures Tuesday start on the warm and muggy side, the mid to upper 60s, and we’ll expect highs to top out in the low 80s given the expected showers, thunderstorms, and overall cloud cover.

Looking ahead to hump day and the rest of the work week, we’ll find much warmer temperatures in the past few days as highs generally top out in the mid to upper 80s each afternoon.

A few storms are possible on Wednesday, but most of us stay dry.

High pressure builds in briefly for Thursday, squelching thunderstorm chances and keeping us under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies.

We stay dry for much of Friday, but the next storm system will be drawing closer throughout the day, and we may see a few storms late in the day as a result.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for May 14th, 2024.
