Myrtle Beach Weather Alert: Showers and Cool Down Coming Your Way!
Hey Myrtle Beach! If you’ve enjoyed the warm weather today, you might want to savor it while it lasts because the clouds are rolling in and shower activity is expected to hit our area tonight. Looks like we’re in for an evening of downpours, some rumbling thunder, and maybe even a flash of lightning as the storm moves offshore, clearing up by midnight. So if you’re planning on being out and about, it might be a good idea to bring an umbrella or stay indoors.
What to Expect Tonight
As the evening progresses, you can expect clouds to break apart overnight, giving way to some clearer skies. It is like nature’s way of saying, “Hang tight, better days are coming!” However, don’t forget, after tonight’s rain, temperatures are going to drop. We’re looking at a cooler day tomorrow, starting off in the mid to upper 40s. But as the sun climbs higher, temperatures will gradually rise to the low to mid 60s by the afternoon, making it a comfy, albeit cooler day.
Weekend Forecast
Looking ahead to the weekend, we have some ups and downs to anticipate. Saturday will see a temporary warm-up, with the mercury hitting the upper 60s to lower 70s. Yep, sunshine is on the agenda! This is especially exciting for those participating in the Myrtle Beach Marathon. The run is bound to be a nice excursion under clear skies, so lace up those running shoes! However, Sunday brings a noticeable chill with high temps only reaching the mid 50s, and expect a brisk northeast wind to accompany that.
Fire Danger Warnings: Stay Alert!
On a more serious note, there’s a fire danger alert issued by local authorities. Areas such as the Pickens Mountains, Greenville Mountains, Greater Oconee, Greater Pickens, Southern Spartanburg, and Greenwood County are on high alert until Friday morning. The conditions are favorable for fire risks, largely due to low humidity levels. Even with lighter winds tonight, be cautious and check in with local burn permitting authorities before lighting up any outdoor fires.
Further down the coast, folks in the Myrtle Beach area, Coastal Georgetown, and Northern Horry are advised to pay attention as a separate fire danger alert is in effect until 8 p.m. tonight. Dry fuels combined with low humidity create a worrying scenario with relative humidity dropping to around 25-30%. Winds are expected to come from the southwest at 15-20 mph, with gusts potentially peaking at 30 mph.
Snow in the Region!
Can you believe it? Snow has been reported from Myrtle Beach to Florence! Yes, indeed, winter is making its presence felt across the Grand Strand and Pee Dee regions. This unique weather event has certainly added a twist to the typical seaside scenery. It’s a strange sight for sure, so if you come across some snowy landscapes, snap a photo safely and share it with friends—you never know, it might just make for a stunning winter wonderland image!
Wrapping Up
So there you have it, Myrtle Beach! A mix of showers tonight leads to a cool but sunny Saturday ahead. Just keep in mind the fire risks as you plan any weekend activities. No need to get caught off guard—stay safe, stay warm, and most importantly, enjoy the ride that mother nature has prepared for us!
