URGENT UPDATE: Rain is drenching Myrtle Beach, SC, today, marking a gloomy end to the work week. The showers, which are expected to taper off later this afternoon, will be followed by a significant turnaround in weather, with a beautiful weekend on the horizon.
As of early Friday morning, a cold front has stalled just off the coast, resulting in persistent rain and overcast skies. WMBF reports that while the heaviest rainfall has passed, scattered showers will continue throughout the day, particularly in the morning hours. Residents should prepare for cooler temperatures, with highs only reaching the mid-upper 50s and some areas near 60°F.
Make sure to equip the kids with rain gear and allow extra travel time, as steady rain is expected to transition into lighter showers and mist by this afternoon. Conditions will remain damp, with mist and drizzle likely into the evening.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday will start with lingering clouds, but drier air is forecasted to move in, diminishing chances for any morning sprinkles. Expect cloudy skies in the morning, clearing up as the day progresses. Highs will reach the low-mid 60s, alongside breezy conditions.
Sunday promises the best weather, with abundant sunshine and temperatures climbing into the upper 60s at the beaches and lower 70s inland. This marks a welcome return to warmer, spring-like weather, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities.
Residents are urged to stay informed and prepared for the changing conditions. For real-time updates, download the WMBF app.
