Tuesday and the rest of the work week: Turning warmer and muggier with storm chances increasing through Thursday
Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Tuesday, June 4th, 2024.
Tuesday starts around 70 degrees and warms to near 90 degrees in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies.
A few thunderstorms will be possible, particularly further inland near the I-95 corridor.
Not everyone will see storms, and the Charleston metro area in particular should be clear of any unsettled weather by evening in the wake of the sea breeze.
Disturbances aloft working with ample instability will maximize shower and thunderstorm chances Wednesday and Thursday.
The best risk for storms will be during the afternoon and evening hours.
Severe weather is unexpected, though storms could pack some gusty winds where outflow boundaries collide.
This is how this goes this time of year.
Temperatures Wednesday top out once again near 90, while we turn even warmer on Thursday with highs in the low to mid 90s.
Given dewpoints in the low 70s, we could get close to heat indices around 100 degrees Thursday afternoon.
A front approaches the area on Friday, but drier air will be working its way in, so while temperatures will be similar to Thursday’s, generally in the low to mid 90s, dewpoints will be trending lower.
This should also help keep the thunderstorm risk a little bit more at bay, but not completely zero out just yet.
But that’ll lead into a generally quiet weekend.
And that was Charleston Weather Daily for June 4th, 2024.
