Charleston is bracing itself for a chilly weekend, as cooler temperatures and showers are set to sweep through the area starting Friday evening. It’s time to dig out those cozy sweaters and waterproof boots, as the weather is shifting towards a damp and cold spell. Forecasters are keeping a close eye on this weekend’s weather patterns, and folks are urged to stay alert!
The weekend’s wet weather is making its entrance on Friday with the thermometers reading mild initially. Expect highs to hover around 55°F during the day. However, don’t get too comfortable! The sky is likely to become overcast as the day progresses, with clouds thickening up and a hint of rain in the air. By late Friday night, the showers are expected to make their grand debut, signaling the beginning of a rainy weekend.
Fast forward to Saturday, and you’ll want to make sure your umbrella is handy. With a predicted 80% chance of rain, your weekend plans might need to adapt to the wet weather. The rain is likely to continue throughout Saturday and into Saturday night, bringing with it potential localized flooding. Major roads like Savannah Highway and Ashley River Road could be problematic, so it’s advisable to exercise extra caution if you’re out and about.
As for temperatures, don’t expect any significant relief. They are forecasted to remain steady around 59°F. By Saturday morning, the showers could accumulate up to a quarter inch, leading to slick streets and puddles everywhere. Perfect weather for a cozy day indoors, if you ask us!
After a soggy Saturday, Sunday is anticipated to bring a bit of relief with partial clearing and a slightly warmer high of 60°F. It seems like Mother Nature is giving us a little break before things get colder again. But don’t pack away those winter coats just yet; Martin Luther King Day is set to be a chilly one, with highs struggling to reach even 42°F!
That’s not all; if you can believe it, there’s a chance of snow sneaking into the picture Monday night into Tuesday. What a twist! Residents should keep an eye out as temperatures dip below freezing early next week, potentially creating icy road conditions.
So, as you gear up for the weekend, keep those umbrellas at the ready, bundle up, and be mindful of the wet and potentially hazardous conditions. With rain, chilly weather, and even a dose of snow on the horizon, it’s shaping up to be an interesting weekend in Charleston!
