CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – A very hot week is expected with plenty of sunshine and only small opportunities for rain! A few clouds will develop today with only a small chance of rain this afternoon or evening. Highs will top out in the mid to upper 90s inland, near 90 degrees at the beaches. Heat index values will peak near 105° today.
It will likely get even hotter on Tuesday as a strong ridge of high pressure is parked over the eastern seaboard. Highs will climb another degree or two with heat index values possibly exceeding 105°. It looks like the record at Charleston International Airport of 103° should be safe for another year but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to be cautious. Make sure you stay hydrated and try to stay out of the sunshine as much as possible!
TODAY: Mostly Sunny, Hot and Humid. High 97, Low 76…
