On Thursday, the Coastal Empire and the Lowcountry had high temperatures and high levels of humidity.
The majority of places experienced afternoon high temperatures in the lower 90s, despite the fact that heat index values occasionally exceeded 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
As a result of a few showers and storms, a few fortunate spots experienced a momentary change in temperature. The prediction calls for an increase in both the temperature and the humidity, particularly into the weekend.
On Friday and for the following week, the heat will be the primary focus of the weather news.
Because of the high pressure that is building up over the region, the likelihood of rain and storms occurring over the next few days will be exceptionally low.
On Friday, the afternoon highs will be in the middle of the 90s, and the heat index will be higher than 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
The weekend will be even hotter than the previous weekend, with actual air temperatures reaching into the upper 90s and even 100 degrees Fahrenheit for a few places located inland.
On Saturday through Monday, there will be periods when the heat index will be higher than 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

The likelihood of precipitation and storms is expected to rise once more by Tuesday of the following week.
With additional precipitation, we will experience slightly lower afternoon high temperatures in the lower 90s, which is the temperature range that we should be experiencing at this time of the year.
