Chilly Weather Expected in Beaufort County with Thunderstorms and Freezing Temperatures Ahead

Chilly Weather Ahead for Beaufort County

Hey Beaufort County! Get ready to bundle up because we’ve got a weather shake-up coming our way. According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, temperatures are expected to drop close to freezing on Wednesday night following a day of possible thunderstorms. Sounds dramatic, right? Let’s break it down for you.

Thunderstorms on the Horizon

Wednesday is looking quite the soggy affair with a whopping 99% chance of rain hitting around 11 a.m. So if you were planning to go for a morning stroll, you might want to grab an umbrella instead! Forecasts suggest we’ll see some showers throughout the early afternoon, but thankfully, the total rainfall shouldn’t exceed half an inch. That’s a relief!

Breezy Conditions and Chilly Nights

But hold onto your hats because the wind is also going to join the party! We could see gusts of wind whipping up to 40 mph, making those rain showers feel even colder. By the time evening rolls around, we can expect temperatures to plummet into the low 40s and even high 30s, starting around 8 p.m. As if that wasn’t enough, the wind chill could bring us down to a frosty 32 degrees Fahrenheit! Brrr, right?

Forecast: Sunny Skies Ahead

Now, don’t let the dreary Wednesday rain get you down! A big high-pressure system is set to move in later this week, so we’ll see a welcome rebound in temperatures just in time for the weekend. If you’re in Hilton Head Island, daytime highs are projected to climb back into the pleasant upper 60s and lower 70s. A perfect time for those outdoor plans!

What to Expect Day by Day

Wondering how the rest of the week looks? Here’s the lowdown:

• Wednesday: Expect breezy conditions with a slight chance of thunderstorms in the morning and showers throughout the day. Highs will be in the upper 60s, dropping to the mid 50s later on.
