Myrtle Beach Weekend Weather: A Mixed Bag Ahead!
Hey there, Myrtle Beach! Get excited for another weekend filled with surprises courtesy of Mother Nature! As we dive into the weekend, expect a little bit of everything from rain to sunshine, so grab your umbrellas and your sunscreen as we break down what’s coming your way!
Friday Night: Ideal for Outdoor Plans
If you’ve got plans for Friday evening, you’re in luck! The weather is looking pretty darn pleasant with temperatures hovering in the low 70s to upper 60s. While there’s a chance of some isolated rain showers, they are expected to be very limited. This means you can still enjoy that evening stroll on the beach, grab a bite at your favorite outdoor restaurant, or enjoy a barbecue with family and friends without too much worry!
Saturday: Showers and a Cold Front
Now, let’s talk about Saturday—the day when the weather takes a dramatic turn. A cold front is on its way, and it’s not bringing just cooler air but also the possibility of scattered showers and storms throughout the day. Early birds might want to check their radar as the first wave of **light and spotty showers** is expected to roll in Saturday morning, sticking around until midday. The skies will likely be mostly cloudy, so don’t forget to check the forecast before you head out!
As the day progresses, temperatures will rise into the upper 70s along the Grand Strand, while inland areas could warm up to the low to mid-80s. Just when you think it’s safe, a second wave of pop-up downpours and storms is anticipated in the early afternoon, especially inland, and could make its way to the Grand Strand by early evening. The good news? Severe storms aren’t expected, but there could be some stronger gusts moving in!
Sunday: Gorgeous Weather Ahead
Once we shake off Saturday’s rain, Sunday is poised to be absolutely stunning! Cooler and less humid weather will swoop in, giving you a taste of that refreshing seaside vibe we all love. With most rain chances gone, Sunday will feature gorgeous, sunny skies perfect for outdoor activities. Expect daytime temperatures to reach the upper 70s to near 80 degrees in beach areas, while those further inland will bask in the warmth of upper 80s to near 90 degrees. It’s shaping up to be an ideal day for a beach day or a game of frisbee in the park!
Upcoming Rain—Are You Prepared?
But hold onto your hats, folks! A significant cold front is projected to show up early next week, starting Monday. Get ready for steady rain that could last all day and into the night. This rain might be heavy at times, which could help with ongoing fires and drought conditions impacting the area. Expect rainfall totals to be around one to two inches or more!
What Lies Ahead: A Cool Down!
After that front rolls through, temperatures will take a noticeable dip, moving into the 60s during the day and the chilly side with overnight lows dropping to the upper 30s and lower 40s. So, if you’ve enjoyed the feeling of summer, be prepared to bundle up as we transition back to those cooler, crisper days!
Memorial Day Weekend: Stay Tuned!
Looking ahead to Memorial Day weekend, forecasts are hinting at hot and humid conditions with a chance of pop-up thunderstorms on Saturday. Don’t fret too much, though! Highs are expected to be around the mid-80s with lows in the 70s, and there’s a good chance that Sunday and Monday could be drier than expected, with only a 20% chance of storms!
So there you have it, Myrtle Beach! Stay prepared and enjoy the mix of weather as the weekend unfolds. From evening outings on Friday to sunny adventures on Sunday, there’s plenty to look forward to!
