After a brief cold front moves out of the area this evening, the weather is expected to settle down with mostly calm and pleasant conditions through the Easter weekend. This change will bring cooler temperatures for a short while, followed by a steady warming trend, just in time for holiday celebrations. Here’s a day-by-day look at what to expect in the coming days.
Cooler Wednesday After the Front Clears
Wednesday will feel cooler than Tuesday, with temperatures dropping by around 10°C due to the cold front. Morning lows will be in the upper 40s, while afternoon highs will stay between the low to mid-70s. This is slightly below the normal temperature for April 16.
The good news is that the strong winds will calm down. Wind speeds will stay light, generally between 5 to 10 MPH, making for a more comfortable day overall. The air will also feel drier and fresher.
Temperatures Rise Again Starting Thursday
By Thursday, the cold air begins to shift, and warmer air moves back in. Morning temperatures will still be chilly, in the upper 40s, but the afternoon will be much warmer. Highs are expected to reach the mid-to-upper 70s, which is typical for this time of year.
This marks the beginning of a warming trend that will continue through the weekend, thanks to high pressure moving offshore.
Warm and Sunny Conditions on Friday
Friday brings more sunshine and even warmer temperatures. Highs will climb to around 80°C in many areas, which is above normal. The skies will remain mostly clear, and the pleasant weather should make for a great end to the workweek.
Easter Weekend: Hot Days, But Comfortable
Both Saturday and Easter Sunday will be warm and sunny. Afternoon temperatures will rise into the mid-80s, with Easter Sunday expected to reach around 85°C.
Thankfully, despite the heat, humidity will stay in the comfortable range. This means the warm weather won’t feel too sticky or uncomfortable – perfect for Easter outings or family events.
Next Rain Chance Comes Tuesday
Looking ahead, the next chance of rain will arrive on Tuesday when another front is expected. While we hope the weather remains calm with no severe storms, a bit of rain would actually be welcome. The Lowcountry area is still facing moderate drought conditions, so some rainfall would help the situation.
As of now, no major severe weather is expected with this system, but forecasts will become clearer as the day approaches.
To sum it up, the weather after today’s cold front will be quite peaceful and comfortable. While Wednesday may feel cooler, the rest of the week brings a return to warmer, sunnier days. Easter weekend is shaping up to be bright and warm, with very little humidity, making it perfect for outdoor fun. Although a front may bring some rain next Tuesday, it could be beneficial due to ongoing dry conditions in the region.
