Hello everyone, Jared Smith here with the Charleston weather forecast for Tuesday, June 18th, 2024.

We’ve got one more generally quiet day of weather coming up for Tuesday before turning a little bit more unsettled heading into the second half of the week.

Temperatures will remain around, if not a touch below normal as a solid onshore breeze keeps us on the cool side.

See a few clouds from time to time, but overall expect a mostly sunny day.

The only downside to the onshore flow will be a moderate risk of rip currents at the beaches, so be alert if you’re going to be out heading into the surf.

Looking ahead to the rest of the week, we’ll see isolated afternoon thunderstorms return to the forecast as many of us take a pause for Juneteenth.

We stay near normal temperature wise as onshore flow continues, with highs topping out in the upper 80s under otherwise partly cloudy skies.

The risk for thunderstorms shifts more towards the coast on Thursday as the disturbance approaches from offshore, and it still looks like this is going to be an open wave, so the risk for anything tropical remains rather low at this point, but we’re still watching it.

This will help surge some more moisture into the area as we head into Friday and the weekend, turning it a bit unsettled at times.

We’ll also get some warmer air into the area as well, with highs returning to the 90s by Friday.

We’ll also need to keep an eye out for coastal flooding during the evening high tides as the moon goes full and the winds continue onshore.

Right now it doesn’t look like tides get too far out of hand, but it’s worth watching regardless.

Finally in the tropics, we have potential tropical cyclone 1 in the southwestern gulf.

It has a good chance of nabbing the name Alberto in the next couple days, but thankfully it’s not a concern for us here at home.

However, it’s going to bring a lot of rain to Texas and Mexico.

And that was Charleston Weather Daily for June 18th, 2024.
