Real-Time Weather for Your Day on the Cooper River

Cooper River Weather: Common Questions
Where can I find live weather for the Cooper River and Charleston Harbor?
This page links to a live Davis Weather Station at the end of the James Island Yacht Club dock. As the page notes, the station is only about half a mile from Captain Tom's house on Charleston Harbor, so it's a nearby source for current conditions before you head out on the water.
Why check the weather before a day on the Cooper River?
Conditions on Charleston Harbor and the Cooper River can shift quickly, and this site centers on boating, diving, and time on the river. Checking the live station link before you leave gives you a current harbor reading instead of a broad regional forecast.
What kind of weather station does the link point to?
The page describes a Davis Weather Station on the James Island Yacht Club dock. The link opens the station's Current Vantage Pro Plus readings page.
Is this a forecast or current conditions?
The page directs visitors to real-time weather — current readings from the dock station — rather than a multi-day forecast. For longer-range planning, pair the live link with a standard marine forecast for the Charleston area.
Who maintains this weather page?
This page belongs to Captain Tom McMillan's A Day on Cooper River site, which gathers photos, trip information, and handy links for people visiting or boating the Cooper River near Charleston, SC.
