Weekend forecast: Turning warmer with coastal shower chances
Cool high pressure will hang tough over much of the Carolinas heading into the weekend, though coastal areas could run a little warmer and more humid depending on the position of a stationary front/coastal trough nearby. The trough keeps cloud cover in the forecast for Saturday in particular, and that combined with northeasterly winds will keep temperatures down into the mid-80s in the afternoon after another mid-60s start. A stray shower or thunderstorm will be possible Saturday, particularly closest to the coast, with the nearby trough. A little more humidity creeps into the area for Sunday as winds just off the deck turn more onshore. It remains to be seen just how deep the moisture becomes with some fairly serious differences in model guidance showing up, but ultimately be ready for an isolated storm or two Sunday afternoon. We will see dewpoints return to the low 70s; as high temperatures head to the mid-to-upper 80s, that will yield heat indices in the low 90s. Nothing terribly heinous, though certainly not as comfortable as it has been.

ANOTHER VIEW: Scores show how S.C. still fails her students
EDITOR’S NOTE: This commentary first appeared in the Charleston City Paper. South Carolinians are famously bound together by traditions, some seemingly as old as the earliest English footprints on the banks of the Ashley River at Albemarle Point in Charleston. But as last week’s damning statewide public school test results pointed up, some Palmetto State traditions belong on the ash heap of history – starting with our longstanding and obdurate refusal to educate all of our children.
