Charleston, SC – Gray skies stretch across the Lowcountry this Sunday morning as a developing coastal system begins to stir along the Atlantic. Winds are already picking up across Charleston Harbor and Folly Beach, a signal of what’s coming — gusty, wet conditions early in the week before calmer, cooler air returns just in time for Halloween.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, rain is likely late Sunday night through Monday afternoon, with gusts topping 25 to 30 mph near the coast. Some downpours may be briefly heavy Monday morning, especially near U.S. 17 and the I-26 corridor, making for a soggy commute.
Highs on Monday will reach the upper 60s under thick clouds, followed by cooler, drier air pushing in from the north Monday night. By Tuesday, skies begin to clear as winds ease slightly, though temperatures will remain brisk with highs in the low 60s.
Midweek brings a break in the active weather pattern — perfect timing for those planning outdoor decorating or Halloween events. Wednesday and Thursday look partly sunny, with highs near 67°F and a light coastal breeze.
While the weekend outlook leans mild, models hint at a stronger cold push early next week, suggesting a chilly November ahead for the Palmetto State.
