What a difference is a week! After days and days of bitterly cold temperatures and heavy snowfall, the time of South Carolina returns (finally) to normal.
For Upstate, Temperatures will continue to increase over the high 60s throughout the week, hitting as high as the middle of the 60s on Friday. A slightly more cool weather is expected by the weekend. Midlands They will see temperatures in the 70s throughout the week, with some southern places seeing peaks in the 60s over the weekend. In Low state The maximums will be in the above 70s, after which they will fall to the mid -60s throughout the weekend. And in DrinkFrom the middle of the upper 70s on Friday with the middle to the top 60 to the weekend.
On January 16, the climate forecasting center launched its prospects for February in the United States, the aim of the agency to predict the tendency for temperature and rainfall for every month and season.
The prolonged prognosis also shows a tendency at almost normal temperatures. In February, the average high temperature for the bigger part of the country is usually in the 60s. And the morning low levels vary between the low 40s for the state, up to the upper 40s for the low side. In addition to our temperatures, South Carolina seems to be a more dry trend for February.
The reason for this forecast is due to the conditions of La Ninina, which are currently present and are intended to continue until April 2025. LA Niña will mean a larger and more dried winter for South Carolina. La Niña pushed storms into the quiet northwest along the saver and inner path, holding the stream of higher widths longer, where it captures cold air to the north. This usually means dry weather, more heating conditions and drought for southern American and cool temperatures for the upper Midwest and the quiet northwest.
For the fourth time in five years, La Nina is expected to be a time and climate factor in winter in South Carolina. Two of the last three winters have brought under normal rainfall through the coastal Carolini. Normal winter sees from 9.5 ”to 11.0” rain in the area, but rainfall during the winters of La Ninina in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 are moving by about 25 percent below the normal one that leads to the national national a land monitor to declare “abnormally dry” conditions in February 2023 and the conditions of “moderate drought” in February 2022.
Given the moderate drought, which is already in place above parts of the coastal and east Carolins, refer to the prospect of increased chances of under normal rainfall and can lead to an increase in the weight of the land over the next few months.
One of the most important meteorological models that affect our winter temperatures is called Northern Oceanus (NAO). In its positive phase, a rapid jam from west to east holds the cold Arctic air bottled in Canada, and the Carolins are prone to warm weather. However, during the negative phase of NAO, the stream flow is free to embody north and south, often allowing cold Arctic air to spread more easily to the Eastern United States. Cold winter time can lead to the Carolins during the negative phase of NAO.
So far, the weather forecast is more like a typical winter. Although we expect to see a few more cold photos in February, we do not expect them to be so common or as powerful.
