Friday & the weekend: Comfortable end of May on tap
Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Friday, May 31st, 2024 and the upcoming first weekend of June and start of climatological summer.
Close out May with plenty of sun, temperatures generally near if not slightly below normal, especially in the mornings, and reasonably low humidity.
Friday looks to run a little warmer than Thursday did, but the northerly breeze will keep the air on the dry side as dew points fall into the low 50s during the height of the afternoon.
Expect mostly sunny skies with just a few passing clouds as moisture remains a little tough to come by.
Saturday will be one more really nice day before a warming trend kicks in beginning on Sunday.
Temperatures on Saturday will once again bottom out in the low 60s with highs in the mid 80s in the afternoon.
Dew points will creep up a couple degrees, but it should still feel plenty comfortable outside as relative humidity values will continue to drop below 35% in the afternoon.
Dew points will begin to rebound to more June-like levels on Sunday as high pressure starts to slip offshore.
Expect a milder start to Sunday with lows bottoming out in the mid 60s, warming into the mid 80s in the afternoon with a little bit more mugginess in the air as dew points return to the 60s.
This warming trend continues into next week with highs returning to the 90s and slight afternoon shower and thunderstorm chances coming along for the ride as well.
But first, we have a beautiful weekend to enjoy, so enjoy it! And that was Charleston Weather Daily for May 31, 2024.
