CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS continue for Friday, Saturday and Sunday as we brace for another round of prolonged excessive heat! Get ready for a hot and humid stretch of weather as the heat index heads over 100°. More heat and more humidity is expected heading into the weekend. Scattered showers or storms will be possible each day, with slightly higher chances over the weekend. Daily highs will reach the mid 90s with heat index between 105-110° each afternoon Friday through the weekend.
