South Carolina Weather 3/8 Morning - 37° Above Normal

Good morning. South Carolina. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside right now and you're feeling 67 degrees. That's not spring warmth — that's summer heat crashing the party in early March. But here's the twist. Storms are coming to spoil it. The Upstate gets hit first. Showers roll through this morning, building to thunderstorms by 4 P.M. Some could pack a punch — damaging winds and hail possible along I-37. High near 74 before the storms arrive. Tonight drops to 56 as showers taper off by 8 P.M. The Midlands stay drier longer. Partly sunny until around 2 P.M., then rain and storms develop. The heaviest action hits between 2 P.M. and 11 P.M. High near 81 — that's 37 degrees above normal. Tonight settles to 61 with patchy fog rolling in after midnight. The Lowcountry gets the mildest day. Partly sunny with just a slight chance of storms after 5 P.M. High near 74. The real show holds off until tonight — thunderstorms develop between 6 P.M. and 5 A.M., peaking around 10 P.M. Low near 60. Monday brings widespread fog early, then mostly sunny skies. Highs climb back to the upper 70s and low 80s. Tuesday stays warm — low to mid 80s — with a 30 percent chance of afternoon showers. Wednesday is the stunner. Highs push near 87 in the Midlands. We could tie records set back in 1974. That's summer heat in early March. Thursday brings the crash — a strong cold front sweeps through with widespread rain and gusty winds. Friday turns beautiful. Sunny skies, mid 60s, much drier air. One last thing. Spring forward tonight. Clocks move ahead one hour at 2 A.M. You'll lose an hour of sleep, but sunset shifts to after 7:30 P.M. Starting tomorrow. See you this afternoon.

South Carolina Weather 3/7 Evening - Spring Fling in March

Good evening. South Carolina. I'm Michael Nally. In Step outside right now you’ll feel it, that thick, almost sticky air for early March. We’re waking up to 74 degrees before 8 AM. That’s not just warm for March, that’s record territory. And this heat? It’s not going anywhere fast. A stalled cold front is creating two completely different worlds across South Carolina. The Lowcountry and Midlands are basking in summer-like warmth, while the Upstate gets a taste of stormy drama. Down in the Lowcountry—Charleston. Beaufort. Hilton Head—you’re living in a different season. Patchy fog lingers this morning, burning off to reveal mostly sunny skies and a high of 74 degrees. That’s 38 degrees above normal for early March. But don’t get too comfortable: by late afternoon, a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms could roll in, especially between 5 PM and 9 PM. Tonight, more of that damp, muggy air holds with lows at 61 degrees. The Midlands—Columbia. Aiken. Orangeburg—you’re the hot spot today. Literally. Highs soar to 81 degrees, flirting with the record books. But here’s the twist: while the morning stays dry, storms fire up by 2 PM, peaking in coverage and intensity through the evening. Some could pack gusty winds and heavy downpours. Tonight, storms linger until around 8 PM, then we drop to a balmy 61 degrees. Now the Upstate—Greenville. Spartanburg. Anderson—you’re the odd one out today. While the rest of the state sweats, you’re dealing with round after round of storms. A few strong ones near Jocassee Gorges could even produce wind gusts up to 40 miles an hour. Highs only reach 74 degrees, which sounds cool compared to the Midlands, but trust me, with all this moisture, it’ll feel warmer. Tonight, storms taper off but dense fog rolls in, with lows near 57 degrees. Looking ahead, we’re stuck in this unseasonably warm, stormy pattern through midweek. Sunday and Monday bring more storms and highs in the low 80s. Tuesday and Wednesday, the heat peaks with the Midlands hitting the mid-to-upper 80s—near record highs. Then comes the crash. A strong cold front Thursday drops temperatures 38 degrees in a single day. Highs Friday struggle to hit 60. In That's classic south carolina weather, dramatic and unapologetic. Enjoy the summer preview this week, because by Thursday, you'll be digging for that jacket you just put away. See you tomorrow.

South Carolina Weather 3/7 Morning - Foggy Start, Sunny Finish

Good morning. South Carolina. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside this morning and you might feel like you've walked into a cloud bank. Dense fog advisories are blanketing the Lowcountry and coastal Georgia this morning, with visibility dropping below a quarter mile in spots. That gray shroud hangs over Charleston and Beaufort until about 10 A.M., so if you're driving near the coast, keep those headlights on and take it slow. Even inland near I40 degrees, you're dealing with a misty, cautious commute. In But here's twist, this fog is just a temporary curtain for a main act that feels like late May. Once that mist burns off. Here comes a serious temperature surge. The Midlands are the big winners today, with Columbia and Augusta hitting a staggering 83 degrees. That's 40 degrees above normal and flirting with record territory. Down in Charleston, you'll top out at 73, while the Upstate climbs to a warm 77. You're gaining nearly 2 and a half minutes of daylight every day now, with sunrise at 6:46 A.M. and sunset at 6:27 P.M., giving you plenty of time to soak in the summer preview. Tonight, that warmth holds tight. The Lowcountry stays mild with lows near 61, though patchy fog creeps back in after 8 P.M. In the Midlands, a brief isolated shower could pop up around 1 A.M., but most of you stay dry with a low near 63. Up in Greenville and Spartanburg, the weather turns a bit more active. You've a 40 percent chance of storms firing up by noon, with the best chance of strong gusty winds and heavy downpours arriving after 3 P.M. The rain isn't done there either—another round is likely before 8 A.M. Sunday, so keep that umbrella handy as you head out for breakfast. Sunday brings scattered storms statewide, but the heat really ramps up Monday and Tuesday. We could hit 86 degrees in the Midlands on Tuesday, challenging records from the 1970s. The bottom falls out on Wednesday, though. A cold front sweeps through, dropping us back to the 60s for Thursday and Friday. That's a 40 degrees-degree crash in 24 hours, so don't get too used to the shorts weather just yet. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts, but maybe keep a jacket within reach for Thursday.
