Charleston, S.C. is set to experience a pleasant start to the week thanks to high pressure in the region. Residents can expect a beautiful Monday afternoon with plenty of sunshine and temperatures reaching near 70 degrees.
However, significant changes are on the horizon as we approach Thanksgiving. A cold front is expected to make its way towards the area, leading to isolated rain chances as early as Tuesday morning. Despite this, rainfall amounts are projected to remain low through Wednesday night.
Fortunately, Thanksgiving Day is now anticipated to be free of rain as the cold front moves offshore. While early morning clouds may linger, they will clear to reveal a sunny afternoon. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler for the holiday, with daytime highs expected to reach the low 60s.
In addition, temperatures could dip close to freezing in inland areas on Thursday and Friday nights due to a stronger high-pressure system moving in. This trend of below-average temperatures is likely to continue into the weekend, although a gradual warmup is forecasted for the first week of December.
The local forecast for the week includes:
– **Monday:** Patchy fog in the morning, mostly sunny with a high of 72 and a low of 58.
– **Tuesday:** Partly cloudy with a chance of a stray shower, high of 75 and low of 61.
– **Wednesday:** A mix of sun and clouds with isolated showers, high of 77 and low of 48.
– **Thursday (Thanksgiving Day):** Becoming sunny and cooler, high of 62 and low of 37.
– **Friday:** Mostly sunny with a high of 57 and a low of 36.
As the holiday approaches, it seems that while the weather will be cooler, families can enjoy a dry Thanksgiving, making it ideal for outdoor gatherings and celebrations.
