Charleston is starting Tuesday with clear skies, but patchy fog is lingering around waterways and low-lying spots. The fog should fade by about 9 a.m., giving way to a mostly sunny afternoon with temperatures climbing to around 76 degrees.
Warm, Dry Weather Holds Through Thursday
Southwest winds will stay light today, generally between 1 and 8 mph, with no rain expected. Tonight will be partly cloudy and mild, with temperatures settling near 56 degrees.
Veterans Day will bring another mostly sunny afternoon near 76 degrees, followed by a partly cloudy night with lows around 57. The National Weather Service in Charleston expects dry conditions to continue through Thursday, though beaches may run a few degrees cooler.
Thursday Winds Signal A Weekend Temperature Drop
Thursday will be sunny and warm, but breezy southwest winds will bring gusts near 25–30 mph. A mostly dry cold front will move through later in the day, setting up a noticeably cooler stretch by Friday.
Friday will still be sunny, but the high should top out near 64 degrees with breezy northwest winds. The weekend will feel more like fall, with Saturday reaching about 59 degrees and Sunday near 61.
Frost Risk Rises Inland This Weekend
Clear skies and lighter winds could send overnight temperatures down to the low 40s Friday night through Sunday night. Inland areas have the greatest chance of frost or freezing temperatures, especially from Saturday night into Sunday morning, while coastal neighborhoods should remain milder.
For Charleston-area residents, the practical forecast is simple: enjoy the warm afternoons while they last, keep an eye out for early fog, and have a jacket ready by Friday. No watches, warnings, or advisories are currently posted for the area.
