Jim Barach's Outlook from the Storm Team Weather Center

Warm Labor Day...Hot For Back To Work & School Tuesday...

High pressure will make for mostly sunny skies on Labor Day Monday. The temperature will climb to a high of 86 degrees. Low humidity values should make for a comfortable afternoon despite the temperature. Tuesday will see clouds move in ahead of an approaching cold front. The high temperature will make it to a hot 90 degrees. Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with morning showers but skies should become partly cloudy by the afternoon. The high temperature will drop a bit to 84 degrees. Thursday will be mostly sunny with a high temperature of 85 degrees. Friday will be partly cloudy but warmer as a warm front moves through. The high temperature will warm to 87 degrees. A cold front moving in on Saturday will bring scattered showers late after a high temperature of 89 degrees. Cooler air behind the front will drop the high on Sunday to 82 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Another front will move through on Monday which will make for mostly cloudy skies and rain showers. The high temperature will drop to 79 degrees. Tuesday will also be mostly cloudy with showers and a cooler high of 72 degrees. Wednesday will be partly cloudy and a bit warmer at 75 degrees.

Tonight, skies will be clear but fog will form in river valleys late. The overnight low temperature will drop to a cool 46 degrees. Labor Day Monday will be mostly sunny with fog burning off quickly. The high temperature will warm to 86 degrees but low humidity values will make for a comfortable afternoon. Back to work and school Tuesday will be partly cloudy and hot. The high temperature will make it up to 90 degrees.
Wednesday will see some morning rain showers but skies will become partly cloudy after a cold front passes. The high temperature will cool to 84 degrees. Thursday will be mostly sunny and warmer as high pressure builds back in. The high temperature will warm to 85 degrees. A warm front moving through on Friday will make for partly cloudy skies but dry conditions. The high temperature will warm to 87 degrees.
Next weekend will start with mostly cloudy skies as a cold front moves into the region. The high temperature will warm to 89 degrees with rain showers coming in late at night. Sunday will be mostly cloudy but it should stay dry. Cool air behind the front will drop the high temperature to 82 degrees.
Another cold front will move through on Monday which will bring back mostly cloudy skies and rain showers. The high temperature will drop to 79 degrees. Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with lingering showers. The high temperature will drop to a cool 72 degrees. Wednesday will see high pressure move back in for partly cloudy skies. The high temperature will warm to 75 degrees.

A quick look back at yesterday's forecast shows that skies were clear with morning fog as expected. The overnight low temperature of 49 degrees was four degrees warmer than the forecast low temperature of 45 degrees. Sunday was mostly sunny as forecast with the high temperature hitting the forecast high right on the button at 76 degrees. Huntington's high temperature was also 76 degrees. Neither city reported any rainfall.

Tonight: Skies will be mostly clear with fog forming late in river valleys. The overnight low temperature will drop to a cool 46 degrees. The record low for Monday is 45 degrees, so it could be close!

Tuesday: High pressure will continue to strengthen which will make for a hot afternoon. Skies will be partly cloudy with an afternoon high temperature of 90 degrees.

Wednesday: Skies will be mostly cloudy with morning showers as a cold front moves through the region. The afternoon will be partly cloudy with the high temperature cooling to 84 degrees as cool air moves in behind the front.

Thursday: High pressure will again be in control which will bring back mostly sunny skies. The high temperature will warm up to 85 degrees.

Friday: Skies will be partly cloudy and it will warm up as a warm front pushes through. It should stay dry with the high temperature warming to 87 degrees.

Saturday: An approaching cold front will make for mostly cloudy skies, with warmer air ahead of the front making for an afternoon high of 89 degrees. Showers will arrive late at night and should be light.

Sunday: Cool air behind the departing cold front will make for mostly cloudy skies. While it should stay dry, the high temperature will drop to 82 degrees.

Monday: Another cold front will bring mostly cloudy skies and some rain showers. The high temperature will drop again, only reaching 79 degrees.

Tuesday: Low pressure will be the dominant weather feature which will mean mostly cloudy skies and lingering rain showers. The cool air behind the front will drop the high temperature to 72 degrees.

Wednesday: High pressure will move in behind the front which will mean a return to partly cloudy skies and dry conditions. The high temperature will warm to 75 degrees.

One Final Note: The low temperature Sunday morning dropped to 49 degrees. That is the first time we have been in the 40s for an overnight low temperature since May 11th! The record low still stands at 41 degrees for the date. That record was set back in 1902 and is the oldest record temperature still on the books in Charleston.
