Myrtle Beach on Alert: High Surf Advisory and Tropical Storm Warning Issued!
Attention Myrtle Beach residents and visitors! The weather is making headlines this week as the National Weather Service (NWS) Wilmington NC has issued a high surf advisory along with a tropical storm warning for our beloved beach area. So, grab your beach towels and listen up because you’ll want to be informed!
What You Need to Know
The high surf advisory kicks in bright and early on Wednesday morning from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m.. You can expect some impressive waves, with heights reaching a jaw-dropping 5 to 7 feet as they crash onto the shore. Sounds like a surfer’s dream, right? Well, not quite. These conditions are going to be dangerous, especially for those looking to swim or surf.
With such high surf, there’s a serious risk of localized beach erosion taking place. Also, if you’re not an experienced swimmer, the NWS strongly advises staying out of the water. Better safe than sorry!
A Tropical Storm Is Coming
No matter what happens, you can expect heavy rain, strong winds, and nearby coastal flooding. The exact path of the storm remains uncertain, but it’s likely to make landfall between the Grand Strand and Wilmington areas. Horry County might see four to six inches of rain, so those beach plans may need to be reconsidered!
Coastal Flooding and School Closures
Stay Prepared and Stay Safe!
So whether you’re hunkering down at home or planning to enjoy the beauty of Myrtle Beach, keep an eye on the skies and listen for those weather updates. Stay safe, everyone!
