Chilly weather on its way to Charleston in near future
Charleston will slip away from spring weather early this week
as temperatures will drop down into the 40s.
The warm spring temperatures will cease in Charleston through
Thursday as temperatures will not climb any higher than in the
mid-50s, according to the National Weather Service Web site.
Monday temperatures will be a high of 51 degrees, Tuesday is a
high of 42 degrees, Wednesday is a high of 48 degrees and
Thursday is a high of 56 degrees, all with lows in the 20s.
These temperatures all drop below the average temperatures for
this week, which are in the mid-50s, the National Weather
Service said.
Despite the scattered showers, temperatures will be on an
upswing Friday when the temperature is expected to be a high of
62 degrees. These warmer temperatures will continue throughout
the weekend with a high of 70 degrees on Saturday and a high of
64 degrees on Sunday, the low temperature will be 50 degrees
both days.
Some students took advantage of the warm weather last week by
going outside their houses to take in some sunshine.
“I guess when it is warm, I have been more active. When it is
rainy, I want to stay inside. The rain is kind of depressing,”
said Joe Sandusky, senior environmental biology major.
“(The weather) was great (this week.) I hate the cold weather
with a passion, especially when it is all gray and yucky
looking,” said Audrey Miesner, sophomore management major. “
Christine Bailey, a sophomore undecided major, said that the
constant changes in weather are annoying, because she enjoys
the warm weather.
“I think mother nature needs to make up her mind,” Bailey said.
Other students said that whether the weather was warm or cold,
it really did not affect them.
“I have just been so busy with my schoolwork I do not have time
to notice the weather,” said Elizabeth Spear, junior speech
communication major.
Jon Hallett, senior administrative information systems major,
said that the warm weather last week did not make him want to
do anything.
“I didn’t really do much,” Hallett said.
