Cool Halloween to be followed by another strong cold front!

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A nice and cool, not too spooky, Halloween is on the way across the Lowcountry. Morning sunshine will give way to scattered clouds Saturday afternoon. It appears that any showers, associated with a coastal trough of low pressure, will remain offshore for most of the day. There is a small chance that a few sprinkles try to move onshore at the beaches Saturday evening. For most, if not all, we should be dry for trick or treating Saturday evening. It will be a comfortably cool day with highs near 70 degrees. Temperatures will slowly fall into the low 60s Saturday evening. A full “Blue Moon” will rise at 6:48 this evening. A “Blue moon” is not actually blue, but rather refers to the fact that it is the second full moon in the same month. Don’t forget to turn the clocks back one hour Saturday night. Sunrise will be at 6:37 Sunday morning. Sunset will be at 5:28 Sunday evening.

A cold front will move through the area Sunday bringing the chance of a few showers, especially around lunch time. We should dry out by late Sunday afternoon as the cooler air begins to move into the area. Temperatures will be in the mid 70s Sunday afternoon but will fall into the 40s by the time we wake up on Monday morning. Despite full sunshine, highs will only reach the upper 50s to near 60 degrees on Monday. Temperatures will drop quickly Monday night with some inland spots in the 30s Tuesday(Election Day) morning. 35-40° is likely from Highway 17 to I-95. 40-45° is the forecast low closer to the coast/beaches. We may see some patchy frost well inland from the coast!
