South Carolina Weather: 02-20-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the South Carolina Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd. Folks, South Carolina is throwing us a curveball today. The Lowcountry is dodging showers while the rest of the state feels like April showed up two months early. Here's the deal. Down in Charleston, you're waking up to 61 degrees with a light southwest breeze. Showers could pop up today. Think of it as a coin flip. Nothing dramatic, but toss an umbrella in the car. Tonight those showers fade and you'll settle into the mid 50s. Now drive an hour and a half northwest to Columbia. Whole different story. Sunny skies and 82 degrees. That's nearly 15 degrees above normal for late February. Your car's steering wheel might actually burn your hands today. Winds out of the west around 10 miles an hour keep it comfortable. Tonight drops to the upper 50s under clear skies. Up in Greenville, you're seeing 77 degrees with westerly winds pushing 10 to 14 miles an hour. Strong enough to send your neighbor's recycling bin on an adventure. Lows tonight stay mild in the mid 50s. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday stays gorgeous. Highs in the 70s and 80s statewide. Perfect for getting outside. Sunday, a weak front sneaks through bringing a slight cooldown and maybe a stray shower along the coast. Nothing worth canceling plans over. Early next week temperatures ease back closer to normal, but we're still talking pleasant. And we're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Evening sunshine is making a comeback. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. Bundle up is the wrong advice today. Slather on sunscreen instead. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
