Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson has your Memorial Day forecast:

Monday has plenty of sunshine, just a few clouds and mild temps as we enjoy the Memorial Day holiday today. Highs will top out in the mid 80s with a light southeast breeze around 5-10 mph. It will be a great day on the water, around the pool or with friends and family as we celebrate and remember those that serve in our Armed Forces.

Temps to hit the mid 80s Thursday with chance of showers

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson has your early Memorial Day Weekend forecast:

Thursday is the start of the long Memorial Day weekend for some...other have to wait until tomorrow. If you are planning ahead...the forecast looks great! Today may still see a few isolated pop up storms along the coast as highs head back into the mid 80s. Rain chances today are around 40%. By evening a cold front will move any rain out of here and bring dry sunny weather to the Lowcountry that will last all the way through Monday!

Say so long to the humidity....
