Thursday afternoon was hot with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

Though thanks to a cold front brining in dry air at the surface, heat index values remained below the actual air temperatures.

Dewpoint temperatures are in the 50s Thursday night, keeping conditions feeling comfortable. Overnight lows with the clear sky and dry air will be able to cool into the lower to middle 60s for most of the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry.

A few outlying locations may be able to cool into the upper 50s by Friday morning. 

Memorial Day weekend will start out with a mostly sunny sky on Saturday with afternoon highs reaching the upper 80s to lower 90s.

Heat index values will only be a few degrees above the forecast highs as humidity level will not begin to really increase until Sunday. 

Hotter temperatures and some thunderstorm chances will enter the forecast on Sunday and for Memorial Day itself.

High temperatures will be in the lower 90s on both days with a few showers and storms. Some isolated storms may become strong to severe due to the summer-like high temperatures. 

The hot trend on the lower 90s with some storms will continue into the middle of next week.
