Charleston is starting Monday clear and near 50 degrees, but the city is headed for a much warmer afternoon. Skies will stay mostly sunny, with temperatures climbing to about 76 degrees and no rain expected.
Sunny, Dry Weather Holds Through Veterans Day
The National Weather Service Charleston forecast calls for dry conditions and highs in the mid-70s through Veterans Day. The weather service expects a high near 76 Tuesday and around 75 Wednesday, with mostly sunny to partly sunny skies.
Overnight temperatures will be mild by November standards, dipping to about 53 degrees Monday night and 55 degrees Tuesday night. Winds turn west-southwest overnight Monday, with a light return flow developing later, making for comfortable evenings around town.
Breezier Weather Arrives Thursday
Thursday stays mostly sunny and warm, with a high near 75, but southwest winds will begin to pick up ahead of a cold front. Rain chances remain minimal, though the National Weather Service says gusts could reach roughly 20 to 30 mph Thursday and become stronger Friday.
Friday will mark the week’s noticeable turn, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures struggling to reach the upper 50s to lower 60s; breezy westerly winds will bring gusts of 25 to 35 mph. The forecast remains nearly dry, so the main change for commuters and outdoor plans will be the wind and a sharper chill after sunset.
Colder Weekend Could Bring Inland Frost
Saturday will be sunny but cooler, with a high near 59 and a low around 41 Saturday night. Charleston’s immediate coast may avoid the coldest temperatures, but the weather service says freezing temperatures and frost become increasingly possible in far inland areas late Friday into Saturday night.
Sunday rebounds slightly under clear skies, with a high near 71 degrees and a light northeast breeze. No watches or warnings are posted for the Charleston area, but anyone heading inland this weekend may want to keep an eye on updated frost and freeze information.
