CHARLESTON, SC – The Lowcountry wakes beneath clear, cool skies this morning, a soft haze hanging above the marshes and harbor. Palm fronds barely stir in the still air, but the quiet won’t last long. Subtle changes are moving in as the first weekend of November unfolds — bringing a brief chance of rain before another stretch of near-perfect autumn weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, light showers could develop late Sunday as a weak coastal disturbance slides north. Rain chances remain scattered and brief, but any showers may dampen early afternoon travel on U.S. 17 or I-26 heading inland. Skies clear again by late Monday, ushering in cooler mornings and warm, pleasant afternoons.
Temperatures stay steady in the upper 60s to near 70 through midweek — classic coastal fall air, with low humidity and crisp evenings ideal for outdoor events and early holiday decorating. Winds will shift north Sunday night, briefly gusting near 10 mph before calming Monday.
To be fair, this pattern marks a welcome pause after last week’s chill. For now, no tropical or severe threats are on the radar, though models hint at another frontal boundary next weekend that could bring another round of showers or a stronger coastal breeze. Until then, it’s a fine few days to enjoy the seasonal shift — sunrise walks along the Battery, oyster roasts, and light-jacket weather that feels like fall finally found Charleston.
