Unseasonably warm temperatures are expected through Friday in South Carolina ahead of a cold front bringing scattered showers.

Unseasonably warm temperatures are expected across South Carolina through Friday ahead of a cold front bringing rain chances to end the week. Highs will reach the low-to-mid 80s, significantly above typical temperatures for this time of year. Charleston could see temperatures near 83° in North Charleston and 81° Downtown, approaching or matching local records.

A cold front moving in from the west will bring showers beginning Thursday afternoon and evening, with the heaviest rain expected Friday morning as the front drifts eastward across the state. A few scattered thunderstorms are possible, though the overall severe weather threat is low. Most areas will receive minimal rainfall, with accumulations of 0.25 inches or less, though isolated heavier downpours could produce up to 1 inch in some locations.

Following the frontal passage, conditions will improve significantly. Saturday will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 70s, with a cooler Sunday reaching only the upper 60s. Temperatures will remain above normal through the first half of the weekend before a more significant cooldown early next week.
