CHARLESTON, S.C. – Planning to enjoy the outdoors this Memorial Day? You might want to keep an umbrella close by. Charleston is expected to see partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-80s, but there’s also a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, especially near the coast.
Afternoon Storms Could Reach the Beaches
Storm Team 2 Meteorologist Jed Christoph advised residents to stay weather-aware if they’re heading outside.
“Keep an eye on it this afternoon,” Christoph said. “Be ready to move indoors if you hear thunder.”
While the day will start off dry and warm, pop-up storms could develop later in the day, potentially affecting beachgoers and outdoor Memorial Day events.
