South Carolina's Weather: Heat, Humidity, and a Storm Watch

South Carolina is feeling the heat again, with temperatures climbing back to what's normal for this time of year. A big area of high pressure is moving in, bringing back those classic summer days—warm afternoons and scattered thunderstorms, especially as the day winds down. For the rest of today, expect a few quick showers and storms popping up in the afternoon and evening. Don't worry about widespread severe weather, though; any rain should be short-lived. But there's a small weather disturbance over Alabama that might drift northeast. It's not expected to reach South Carolina, but it's always good to keep an eye on it, just in case.Thursday might bring more rain than expected, thanks to a passing weather system. This could keep temperatures a bit cooler and increase the chances of rain, especially in the southeastern parts of the area. If any stronger storms develop, they could bring heavy rain and cause brief flooding in low-lying areas, but widespread issues aren't likely. The rain should die down quickly after sunset. Friday is looking a bit hotter and drier as the high pressure strengthens, but this might just be a short break from the rain. The forecast beyond Friday is a bit uncertain, as the weather pattern starts to shift heading into the weekend and early next week. It's always a good idea to stay informed and prepared, especially when dealing with summer weather. Keep an umbrella handy and stay updated on the latest forecasts.
