South Carolina's Big Cool Down: What to Expect

Get ready, South Carolina! A big chill is on its way, bringing temperatures down by 10 to 15 degrees. Today, highs will only reach the 60s, and by tonight, lows could dip into the 30s. But don't worry too much about frost, as some wind should keep it at bay – except in the northern and western Midlands, where patchy frost might form.

What's causing this cool-down? An upper ridge is building, which will let temperatures rise again by early next week. Meanwhile, high pressure from the Mississippi/Ohio Valley is bringing clear skies and dry air, leading to strong cooling at night. Thursday and Friday will stay cool and dry, with highs in the mid-60s. But keep an eye out for frost Friday morning, as lighter winds could make conditions right for it. By the end of the week, though, temperatures should start to climb back up to around 70 degrees. So, bundle up, South Carolina! This cool spell won't last forever.
