CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Occasional showers and some thunderstorms can be expected through the early afternoon on Tuesday.

High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s with warmer temperatures returning Wednesday and Thursday. Most neighborhoods will climb into the mid to upper 80s.

“We will maintain a risk of a few thunderstorms Wednesday, and one or two could be on the strong side,” Marthers said.
