Myrtle Beach Weather Forecast: Warm Days Ahead Before Weekend Storms and Possible Winter Weather Next Week
Hey there, Myrtle Beach! If you’ve been enjoying those sunny, warm days, get ready for some delightful weather as we sail through the week. Clear skies and warm temperatures are expected to continue until the weekend, so it’s time to grab your sunscreen and head out!
What’s Happening This Week
As we dive into Wednesday, get excited for afternoon temperatures that are looking to climb into the upper 70s to near 80 along the beach, while inland folks can expect a cozy middle 80s. You might want to take a stroll by the shore as the warm weather unfolds. However, keep in mind that overnight temperatures are cooling down a bit, dipping into the lower 60s near the coast and around 60 inland.
On Thursday and Friday, temperatures will hold steady around 80 degrees on the Grand Strand, with the Pee Dee seeing temperatures climb into the mid to upper 80s. And let’s not forget about the humidity—it’s going to rise, giving that summertime feel! Although Friday will mostly stay dry, you might catch a stray shower or storm from the sea breeze creeping in.
Weekend Weather Shifts
Now let’s talk about the weekend. Saturday is shaping up to be a bit *muggy*, starting with mild temperatures near 80 degrees along the beach and dipping into the lower to middle 80s inland. But don’t get too comfortable just yet! A cold front making its way through this weekend means scattered thunderstorms are on the radar for Saturday afternoon. Just remember, the rainfall could be hit or miss, so some areas might be drier than others.
The good news is that as we get into late Saturday night, the cold front will push offshore, putting an end to the rain chances. By Sunday, we can look forward to drier and less humid conditions, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful start of the week.
Winter Weather on the Horizon
But hold on just a second—next week’s weather could take a turn! The National Weather Service is issuing a heads-up about the potential for winter weather in the area, particularly on Wednesday. There’s a 20% to 30% chance that a winter storm could impact the Grand Strand, bringing along some chilly temperatures with lows dipping into the low 20s and highs reaching the mid 30s from Monday through Wednesday.
This means there’s a possibility of seeing a mix of different wintry precipitation, including snow, sleet, freezing rain, or even a wintry mixture. It’s certainly the kind of weather that can catch people off guard, so it’s a good time to check reliable weather sources and stay informed!
Stay Safe and Prepared
In light of the upcoming weather shifts, residents are encouraged to prepare for possible extreme weather. A coastal flood advisory is currently in effect until Tuesday at midnight for Myrtle Beach and Coastal Georgetown, with estimates of about half a foot of inundation expected in low-lying areas. It’s best to take proactive measures to protect property from flooding and to heed any evacuation instructions issued by local authorities.
Traveling during these flood conditions is best avoided. If you must go out, be cautious of hydroplaning, which can happen on wet roads. Knowing how to respond is essential in keeping you and your vehicle safe on the road.
So, Myrtle Beach, get ready for a rollercoaster ride of weather this week! Embrace the warmth while you can and stay alert for the changing forecasts ahead!
