Myrtle Beach is set to celebrate the 77th birthday of Charles Pearl this Sunday, August 2, 2025, amidst a mixed weather forecast that initially raised concerns but has since stabilized. Family and friends will gather to honor the retired journalist as he marks this significant milestone in the popular vacation destination of South Carolina.
The National Weather Service had issued severe thunderstorm warnings earlier this week for the surrounding areas; however, these alerts were lifted as the storm system lost strength and fell below severe limits. The weather forecast for Sunday indicates a blend of sunshine and clouds, with a high temperature reaching 82°F and northeastern winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph. As the night progresses, conditions are expected to shift to partly cloudy skies, with an overnight low of 63°F and lighter winds at 5 to 10 mph.
Charles Pearl’s birthday celebration is particularly special as he requested a one-way ticket to Myrtle Beach, along with tickets to see “Rumours: The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show” at the Greg Rowles Legacy Theatre on Sunday evening. His daughter, Charlsie Pearl, contacted him earlier this week to discuss gift options, which led to the decision to celebrate in Myrtle Beach with family by his side.
In June 2025, Charlsie’s mother, Karen Pearl, flew Charles to Myrtle Beach to reconnect with longtime friends, Larry Timbs and his wife, Patsy. Their gathering in this vibrant coastal city has become a cherished occasion for the family, especially around special celebrations such as Charles’s birthday.
While the weather has been a concern, it is pertinent to note that the likelihood of thunderstorms typically increases during the summer months. Annually, lightning strikes across the United States approximately 25 million times, with around 20 fatalities each year occurring largely due to thunderstorms. Safety precautions advise individuals outdoors during storms to seek indoor shelter to mitigate risk.
In addition to potential thunderstorms, the NWS has reported updated alerts across various counties, indicating strong thunderstorms that may produce wind gusts up to 50 mph and minor hail damage. Residents have been reminded of the dangers associated with driving in such weather conditions, particularly regarding hydroplaning—a phenomenon that occurs when a vehicle slides uncontrollably on wet roads due to water accumulation in front of the tire. Though the causes of hydroplaning were not specified in the forecast, this serves as a reminder for motorists to exercise caution during inclement weather.
As family and friends prepare for the birthday celebrations in Myrtle Beach, the combination of familial love, nostalgic reunions, and lively performances promises an enjoyable day, despite any lingering weather uncertainties. With Charles Pearl surrounded by loved ones and engaging in his favorite activities, his 77th birthday is anticipated to be memorable and joy-filled.
