Myrtle Beach Prepares for a Muggy Midweek
Hey there, Myrtle Beach residents and visitors! Get ready to feel the heat—literally! As we dive into the week, conditions are heating up with an increase in humidity. This means there’s a greater chance of those beloved afternoon showers and storms that we all know can come popping up in the blink of an eye.
What’s Happening Tonight and Tuesday?
Tonight, expect things to feel a bit more mild and muggy. While you’re out and about, you might notice a bit of patchy fog forming—so keep an eye on the road if you’re driving! Overnight temperatures are expected to dip into the lower to middle 60s, which is quite comfortable!
Then comes Tuesday—get those beach towels ready! Temperatures are set to hit the near 80-degree mark at the beach, while inland areas will feel a bit warmer, with temperatures soaring into the middle and upper 80s. While most of us should enjoy a dry and sunny Tuesday, don’t be surprised if a few isolated showers pop up well inland. It’s that time of year!
Midweek Weather Predictions
Now, things start to get a little more interesting as we roll into midweek. A weak front is hanging around the region, and that means the chance for showers and storms is on the rise! On Wednesday afternoon and evening, especially in the Pee Dee area, expect scattered showers and possibly some thunderstorms. Fortunately, if you’re near the beach, the chances of rain are considerably lower. So, be sure to plan your beach time accordingly!
Thursday looks to bring similar weather, with a decent chance for more showers and storms throughout the day. By Friday, we may see just a stray shower or two. But hold onto your hats, because Saturday could bring some stronger afternoon downpours!
How Much Rain Can We Expect?
In terms of rainfall, forecast models suggest that isolated spots may see more than an inch of rain, while most areas could gather between half an inch to an inch of rain by the end of the week. However, here’s a little heads-up: this isn’t nearly enough to break the ongoing drought conditions we’ve been experiencing in the area.
Even though we can expect some rain and storms, it’s nice to know that the unstable weather will clear up as a cold front approaches, bringing cooler and significantly drier air by Sunday. Get ready for a nice transition!
Weekend Outlook: Hot and Humid
Don’t pack away those shorts just yet! Hot and humid conditions are set to continue through the weekend. Highs are projected to be in the mid-80s, with comfortable lows around 70 degrees. Saturday will see some afternoon thunderstorms, but don’t fret—they should decrease to about a 20% chance by Sunday and on Memorial Day.
Speaking of Memorial Day, it looks like we’re in for some great weather! The holiday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high of around 87 degrees. Perfect for enjoying time with family and friends!
Get Ready for Memorial Day Festivities!
And there’s more good news! The Grand Strand has lined up some fun Memorial Day events starting Saturday and continuing through Monday. So whether it’s a beach day or a family barbecue, you can make the most of your long weekend!
So there you have it, Myrtle Beach! Keep an eye on the forecast and prepare for whatever Mother Nature throws our way. Happy week ahead!
