Charleston is starting off cloudy and damp, with periods of rain and breezy conditions today. Southwest winds are gusting, which could briefly reduce visibility during heavier showers and make roads slick — especially along major routes like I-26 and U.S. 17. If you’re heading toward Charleston International Airport, plan for extra travel time.
Saturday brings the highest rain chances, with widespread showers and possible afternoon thunderstorms. Localized heavier downpours could lead to ponding on low-lying roads by evening.
Sunday trends drier but noticeably cooler, with clearing skies later in the day. Temperatures drop sharply Sunday night into the 30s, so any leftover moisture on pavement could refreeze in colder inland spots.
Sunshine returns Monday and Tuesday with chilly mornings, then a steady warming trend builds midweek. By late week and into next weekend, highs rebound into the 60s and even low 70s — signaling a more springlike pattern ahead across the Lowcountry.
