Myrtle Beach Bracing for Shifting Weather as Cold Front Approaches
Hey there, Myrtle Beach! If you’ve stepped outside recently, you may have noticed the air starting to feel a tad more brisk. This is all thanks to a cold front making its way towards our beautiful coastline, bringing some changes in the forecast just in time for the weekend.
Rain Overnight, But Not Too Much
Let’s talk about the rain first. Overnight, chances of showers are expected to drop as we settle into a cooler pattern. For those who are concerned about getting soaked, don’t worry too much; rain totals are anticipated to be around one to two tenths of an inch. In fact, some areas might just luck out and skip the showers altogether!
Breezy and Chilly Weekend Ahead
As the weekend rolls in, prepare for cooler temperatures paired with some breezy winds. Saturday will kick off with daytime highs only reaching into the lower 40s, but trust us, it’s going to feel even chillier thanks to those panoramic gusts. If you’re planning outdoor activities, plan to dress warmly!
On a brighter note, if you’re near the Grand Strand, expect daytime temperatures to rise to about the low 60s. If you’re heading inland, you might bask in the mid 60s. And here’s something to smile about – this weekend is also expected to be quite sunny, with temperatures hovering in the upper 60s along the Grand Strand and even hitting the low 70s in the Pee Dee area!
Nighttime Chill and Fire Danger
As the sun disappears each evening, the temperature will drop down to the mid to low 40s. Make sure to bundle up if you’re out and about at night! Plus, if you’ve been enjoying some outdoor fires or barbeques, you might want to double-check local regulations. With dry air and ongoing drought conditions, there is a concern regarding high fire conditions, and burn bans could be in effect in certain areas.
Looking Ahead: A Potential Winter Storm!
Starting Monday, keep an eye out as an Arctic air mass is predicted to sweep in, sticking around until midweek. That means we could see those low temperatures dive into the low 20s! Yikes! Highs might only reach the mid 30s during this cold snap. With the uncertainty surrounding snow predictions due to varying models, it’s best to stay alert and updated.
Stay Prepared, Myrtle Beach!
As this chilly weather approaches, residents are encouraged to take some important precautions. Protect your plants, pets, and plumbing to ensure they don’t suffer during the cold snap. Check your forecasts regularly, and remember to dress in layers if you’re heading outside.
With all these changes on the horizon, Myrtle Beach, it’s wise to stay informed. Be sure to follow trusted sources for updates because, let’s face it, social media can sometimes spread confusing information! So, as the temperatures drop and the snow possibilities rise, it’s time to prepare for a chilly and cozy week ahead. Stay warm and enjoy the weekend!
