South Carolina Weather March 3 Morning - 47° Above Normal

Good morning. South Carolina. I'm Aaron Jolly. So high pressure is sliding out to sea, but it left behind a parting gift. A cool air wedge is camped over the Upstate, refusing to budge. That's creating a real temperature tug of war across the state today. In the next 24 hours. Down in the Lowcountry, you're the winner. Mostly sunny, 66 degrees, with a gentle east breeze around 6 to 9 miles an hour. Pleasant stuff. But after 10 P.M., fog starts creeping in. Lows settle near 55 degrees. Slide up to the Midlands and it's a similar story. Partly sunny, 65 degrees. Light winds. Overnight, patchy fog rolls in as you drop to 48 degrees. Now the Upstate. That wedge is sitting on you like a wet blanket. Partly sunny but only 58 degrees. Mostly cloudy tonight with lows near 47. Quick heads up about that fog. South of I-20 especially, it could get dense overnight. Give yourself extra cushion for the Wednesday morning commute. Your headlights won't do you much good if you can't see past the hood. Now the plot twist. Wednesday, that wedge finally collapses. The Midlands rockets to 77 degrees. The Upstate jumps to 74. Even the Lowcountry hits 71. Morning fog burns off quick. And suddenly it feels like late April. Looking ahead, this spring preview has legs. Thursday through Saturday, temperatures run 47 degrees to 47 degrees above normal. The Midlands could touch 84 by Friday. Let that sink in. 84 degrees in early March. Rain chances creep back over the weekend as a weak front nudges closer, bringing possible showers and thunderstorms Sunday into Monday. One more thing worth noting. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every day now. The spring equinox is just 17 days out. And tonight? A full moon glowing through that fog. Might be worth a look out the window. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Special Weather Statement | South Carolina Weather

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the South Carolina Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. And winter just hit the snooze button one more time. Step outside right now and you're greeted by 32 degrees and a northwest wind that's making it feel like 20. That 7 A.M. Wind chill? It bites. But here's the plot twist — this cold snap is on borrowed time. Down in the Lowcountry, you're looking at sunshine but only 46 degrees by 3 P.M. Winds hold steady at 13 miles an hour, keeping those wind chills honest. Tonight drops to 30 degrees by 6 A.M. Push north to the Midlands and it's nearly identical — 47 degrees by 3 P.M., but winds gust to 16 miles an hour around noon. That's the kind of breeze that finds every gap in your jacket. Lows tonight crash to 27 degrees by 4 A.M. Up in the Upstate, you're the cold spot today. Just 43 degrees by 2 P.M.. And tonight you're bottoming out at 24 degrees by 4 A.M. If you've got cold-sensitive plants, tonight's the night to cover them. One critical heads-up — fire danger is elevated today.

And it's bringing friends — winds gusting to 40 miles an hour. Strong enough to turn your trash cans into tumbleweeds. The National Weather Service has a Wind Advisory up until 10 P.M., so secure anything that might take flight. Down in Charleston, you've got a 48 percent chance of showers until 9 A.M., then skies clear fast. You'll hit 61 degrees by 11 A.M., but don't get comfortable. Temperatures nosedive through the 50s by sunset. Tonight drops to 32 degrees, but with winds howling at 16 miles an hour, it'll feel like 24. That's cover-your-plants cold.

South Carolina Weather: 02-21-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the South Carolina Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. The Lowcountry woke up feeling like spring today. The Upstate? Not so much. We've got a solid temperature divide across the state, and rain is crashing the party later. Down along the coast, Charleston and the Lowcountry are the winners today. Highs pushing 70 degrees with light south winds around 6 to 9 miles an hour. Perfect for a morning stroll along the Battery. But you'll want to enjoy it early. Showers are likely rolling in this afternoon. Drive an hour and a half northwest to Columbia and the Midlands. You're topping out near 66 degrees. Light northeast winds barely registering at 1 to 6 miles an hour. Rain chances are actually higher here. Likely showers by afternoon, so keep that umbrella close. Now head up to Greenville and the Upstate. Stuck in the low 60s with east winds around 5 miles an hour. A chance of rain keeps things gray and unsettled. Not exactly Saturday cookout weather. Tonight, scattered showers blanket the whole state. Lows settle into the 50s, with the Upstate dipping slightly cooler. Leave the windows cracked if you like falling asleep to rain. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday holds onto that warmth. Then Monday, a cold front sweeps through and drops temperatures back to normal. Midweek dries out nicely. But another system sneaks in by Friday with more rain chances. Also, air quality sits at moderate today, so sensitive groups might want to take it easy outdoors. One more thing. Sunrise hit at 6:32 this morning. Sunset at 5:20 tonight. We're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight every day. Spring is coming, y'all. Alright. If you're enjoying these forecasts, share us with a neighbor. It really does help more folks find us. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
