Lowcountry Regional Airport to celebrate 80th birthday

WALTERBORO, S.C. (WCSC) - A Walterboro airport is gearing up to celebrate its 80th birthday by recreating the party that was held when it first opened in 1933.

The Lowcountry Regional Airport 80th anniversary celebration will take place on Saturday, June 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the airport. The airport, originally named the C.C. Anderson Landing Field, first opened on June 15, 1993.

City of Walterboro Mayor Bill Young will be a part of the program, which will honor those who made the 80 years of growth and expansion at the airport possible. 

Mild heat returns Friday with temps in the upper 80s

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson says it will cool off a little Friday, with temps topping out in the mid to upper 80s.

Sunshine returns for Friday and brings with it much lower humidity thanks to a front that moved off the coast early this morning. Winds out of the north all day around 5-10mph will make it feel much milder and not allow any excessive heat to work its way back into your outdoor plans for the last day of the week. Highs today are in the mid to upper 80s with a extreme UV index if you plan to head to the beach or the pool. The great weather lasts all weekend including Fathers Day on Sunday.

Thursday temps to hit upper 90s, feel like 105°

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson says it is going to be another steaming-hot day in the Lowcountry:

The high humidity and temps reaching highs in the upper 90s today will make for a sizzler today across the Lowcountry. The heat index values today will quickly top the 100° mark by mid-day and top out in the 105-110° range along the coastal counties from 2pm till around 6pm. With that being the case, the NWS has issued a heat advisory from 2-6pm to account for the very hot weather. Stay inside if you can, stay cool and hydrated if you have to be outside. Take care of the pets as well. There is a chance of storms late tonight that could be strong as they move in around 11pm-2am.

Heat index to push 100° Wednesday

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson has your scorching Wednesday forecast:

Temps will soar today as plenty of sunshine combines with lots of humidity to push high temps into the mid 90s for most backyards. The high dew points will make the "feel like" temp reach over the century mark around 100-104° along the coastal counties during the mid-afternoon. Winds will be from the southwest at 7-11mph. There is an isolated storm risk later today along the inland sea-breeze and any storms that can pop up will be strong with damaging winds and the threat for significant hail. Rain chances is a low 20-30% though.

Tuesday brings high humidity, pop up showers

Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson has your Tuesday forecast:

Morning clouds mixed with sunshine will be a nice way to start Tuesday but pop up showers and isolated storms will be back for some later this afternoon. AM temps were already near 80° and thanks to plenty of humidity the feel like temp this afternoon will make it to the mid 90s for most. Highs by late day should top the 90° for most backyards away from the coast. Storms during the drive time this afternoon should be more scattered but could still be heavy with strong winds and lots of lightning.
