Scattered Storms Tonight...Hot Through The Holiday Weekend...

A low pressure system off the Atlantic Coast spread moisture into the region which set off showers and storms on Thursday, primarily to the east. The storms will taper off through the night with skies eventually becoming mostly clear. The overnight low temperature will be 60 degrees. Friday will be partly cloudy and dry as high pressure builds in across the region. The high temperature will be 90 degrees, which would make it the first time this year we have been that warm in Charleston.
The Memorial Day Holiday Weekend will start out with mostly sunny skies under high pressure on Saturday. The high temperature will soar to 95 degrees, which would be a record for the date. Sunday will also be hot under high pressure. There will be some clouds from a tropical disturbance to the south and that will drop the high temperature slightly to 94 degrees.
Memorial Day Monday will be partly cloudy, dry and still hot under high pressure. The high temperature will cool just a bit as there will be a bit more cloud cover ahead of an approaching cold front. The mercury will make it up to 91 degrees.
Tuesday will see the cold front move in which will make for mostly cloudy skies along with showers and thunderstorms. The high temperature will drop to 84 degrees with the increase in cloud cover and the rain showers. Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with rain showers as a low pressure system remains across the region in the wake of the cold front. The high temperature will drop to 78 degrees.
Thursday will be partly cloudy and there could be a few lingering rain showers to start off the day. The high temperature will drop slightly again to 75 degrees with cooler air moving in behind the cold front. Friday will be partly cloudy and dry under high pressure. The high temperature will warm a bit to 81 degrees.
The next weekend will start off with mostly cloudy skies and some showers and thunderstorms on Saturday as a cold front moves into the region. The high temperature will drop a bit to 79 degrees with the additional cloud cover and rain showers. Sunday will be partly cloudy and dry as high pressure moves back in across the region behind the departing cold front. The high temperature will warm a bit to 83 degrees.
