FIRST ALERT: Much Needed Drying Trend Settling in

MYRTLE BEACH, SC – After days of incessant tropical downpours, residents can look forward to a brief but welcome respite as drier air ushers in a drying trend across the city, reducing the stifling tropical humidity and frequent storms. HERE News Network has the latest updates on weather conditions for the week.

Tonight’s Forecast

Residents should still expect a few storms this evening with the possibility of impactful, heavy rainfall. In addition to the storms, areas of fog will develop overnight with temperatures expected to dip into the lower to middle 70s.

Weather Outlook for Tuesday

While the intensity of storms will be lower than in previous days, a few more are likely on Tuesday afternoon and extending into the evening. The chance of rain is forecasted to hover around 30% for the day, with afternoon temperatures set to peak in the middle 80s.

A Welcome Drying Trend

A weak cold front will bring a much welcomed decrease in humidity, as well as a rain-free forecast, beginning Wednesday and lasting until the end of the week. This weather will not resemble the cool crispness of fall, but a noticeable decrease in mugginess will make outdoor activities more tolerable and enjoyable as the week advances. HERE News Network predicts a noticeably lower humidity index for the middle of the week.

The Weekend Outlook

Residents enjoying the dry spell will have to prepare for a resurgence of humidity by the weekend. This increase could potentially bring back a low risk of isolated afternoon storms. Nevertheless, temperatures are expected to remain seasonably warm, with the heat index possibly nearing 100 due to the return of humidity.

With the break from daily storms expected in the middle and end of the week, residents are encouraged to make full use of the sunshine. While this drying trend is a great respite, locals should remain ready for shifting weather patterns and potential summer storms as humid conditions return by the weekend.

Keeping Resilient

Despite the weather challenges, Myrtle Beach continues to stand resilient. With the reduction of humidity and a breather from the rain, the community can enjoy the outdoors and make the best of the week ahead. The week’s forecast is a welcome change and one that has been much needed in recent times.
