FIRST ALERT: “Aug-tober” Brings Potential Record Low Temperatures
Unseasonably Pleasant Weather Expected Over the Next Few Days
Myrtle Beach, SC – As August moves into what locals term as “Aug-tober,” an unexpected chill in the air forecasted for the region might shatter record low temperatures. Residents can look forward to unseasonably pleasant weather with a whiff of fall in the coming days.
Record Low Temperatures on the Horizon
Thanks to an expansive area of high-pressure systems, the eastern half of the US is experiencing remarkably cool and enjoyable weather. In Myrtle Beach, SC, and the surrounding areas, temperatures are set to reach levels not seen since early June.
Under clear skies that carry the promise of light winds and low humidity, tonight’s inland temperatures are predicted to dip to a chilly 58-61 degrees Fahrenheit – a stark departure from the average summer heat, leading to the possibility of setting new record low temperatures. Along the Grand Strand, temperatures are expected to fall into the mid-60s.
Tomorrow’s Weather Forecast: Sunny and Pleasant
With this weather’s distinctive autumn-like feel, Thursday is predicted to continue the pattern of pleasant weather characterized by sunny skies and persistent low humidity. Morning temperatures in the 60s are forecast to reach highs of upper 70s to low 80s near the beaches and just barely into the lower 80s inland.
A Gradual Shift in Weather Conditions Ushering in the Weekend
Friday is projected to take a turn as the pleasant conditions give way to an increasing level of humidity and upper-level atmospheric moisture. These changes are expected to result in increasingly cloudy to overcast skies throughout the day. Moreover, a stray shower may find its way onshore by afternoon or evening, with temperatures peaking in the lower 80s.
Over the weekend, the rise in humidity will persist, accompanied by periods of mostly cloudy skies. Occasional showers are foreseeable, along with a stray storm or two. Afternoon temperatures are expected to gradually climb over the weekend – possibly reaching the mid-80s on Saturday and nearing the high 80s by Sunday.
A Flurry of Local Developments Amid the Weather Changes
In addition to the looming weather changes, a series of local developments have transpired. These include the ongoing construction work in Myrtle Beach, a traffic accident in Horry County leading to multiple hospitalizations, recent arrests by the HCPD task force, a notable power outage in Murrells Inlet, and many more. However, the details of these concurrent events will be covered in separate articles.
