Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Saturday, June 8th and Sunday, June 9th, 2024.

We’ve got quite a warm weekend ahead with plenty of sunshine.

Thankfully, humidity will not play a major role as dew points mix out in the 50s on Saturday and the low 60s on Sunday.

In fact, Saturday could be one of those days where the heat index is actually lower than the air temperature at times, as relative humidity values will head down to around 35% during the height of the afternoon.

Sunday may end up as the hottest day thus far in 2024.

The forecast high of 98 degrees, if it verifies, would be the warmest day since August 14th, 2023, when it was also 98 degrees.

Thankfully, we’ll keep dew points in the low 60s, which will keep heat indices below 100 degrees.

Still, when we hit the lache mark, it’s plenty, plenty hot, so if you’ll be outside, make sure you’re taking breaks and staying hydrated.

Don’t forget the sunscreen, too, especially if you’re headed to the beach.

It is prime UV season, after all.

Despite the heat, thunderstorm chances will be nil.

There’s just too much dry, sinking air for afternoon thunderstorms, and much less a robust cumulus field to develop.

The next rain chances arrive Monday, and we could stay somewhat unsettled heading into next week as a front stalls out nearby.

Stay tuned.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for June 8th, 2024.
