It’s another week of spring-like temperatures here on Edisto.
There are few things as beautiful as sitting on the porch during a chilly January morning sipping hot tea watching the sun rise up over the ocean and shine through the fronds of the palm trees and today was no exception.
The high today is to be around 70 degrees and although weather reports call for a partly cloudy day, I’ll venture a guess and say that it will be sunny all day long, which is good because Thursday and Friday could be dreary.
Thursday’s high of 70 degrees will be marred with cloudy skies and a 20% chance of rain. By Friday, expect to be indoors for much of the day as there is an 80% chance of showers and severe thunderstorms all day long that will bring with it chillier weather.
Friday night’s low is forecasted to be in the low 40s, but the clouds will move out and give way to a perfectly sunny weekend.
Both Saturday and Sunday will experience highs near 60, but by Sunday night the low will drop down to just above freezing, so be sure to shut your windows before going to bed.
If you’re visiting Edisto during this last weekend of January, consider taking the boat out to do a little fishing in the creeks. Red fish should be out in massive numbers in the warm water close to the edges of the marsh and in shallow areas near sandbars. They put up a strong fight once on the line, so be prepared to go to battle if you do decide to fish this weekend.
If fishing isn’t your thing, visit Edisto’s newest art gallery, Palmetto Moon, at 101 Jungle Road and check out all the local art for sale to either put in your beach house or take home with you if you’re just here for a visit.
