Clouds will increase over Charleston on Veterans Day, but the afternoon will feel more like late summer than November. The high should reach about 77 degrees with mostly sunny breaks and almost no chance of rain.
The National Weather Service in Charleston expects dry conditions to hold through Thursday, with Wednesday night staying mild and partly cloudy as temperatures dip to around 59 degrees. Southwest winds will remain light Wednesday before strengthening ahead of a cold front late Thursday.
Thursday Stays Warm, But Winds Pick Up
Thursday brings one more warm afternoon, with sunshine and a high near 77 degrees. Southwest winds could gust as high as 25 to 30 mph, making it a breezier day for waterfront walks, outdoor Veterans Day plans and anyone heading across the bridges.
Rain is not expected to be a major factor, with the forecast calling for dry weather through the front’s passage. The National Weather Service says much colder air will arrive behind the front Thursday night.
Weekend Chill Raises Frost Concerns Inland
Friday turns sunny but cooler, with a high near 64 degrees, followed by highs around 59 on Saturday and near 61 on Sunday. Overnight lows fall to the low 40s in the Charleston area, with Saturday night expected to be the coldest stretch of the weekend.
Frost and occasional freezing temperatures are possible mainly inland, especially away from the immediate coast and in areas closer to or west of Interstate 95. Charleston’s coastal neighborhoods are less likely to see a freeze, and no weather advisories are posted for the city as of Wednesday morning. The sharper turn is an update to Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which highlighted the warm start but had fewer details on the weekend frost threat.
