Arctic Air Mass Brings Chilly Weather to Myrtle Beach This Weekend

Hey there, Myrtle Beach! It looks like winter is giving us a firm reminder this weekend as an *Arctic air mass* rolls in, bringing some seriously cold temperatures to our lovely coastal town and the surrounding areas. If you haven’t yet bundled up, now’s the time to grab your warmest scarf and hat!

Extreme Cold Advisory Alert

There’s an EXTREME COLD ADVISORY in effect overnight. So, brace yourselves: temperatures are set to drop into the upper teens inland, with those close to the beach sneaking down to near 20 degrees. If you’re heading out, make sure to check the wind chill, which could feel as low as 8 to 12 degrees by Friday morning thanks to a brisk northwest wind blowing at 5 to 10 mph.

Chilly Friday Forecast

Fast forward to Friday, and while we can expect some brighter skies to peek through the clouds, it’s still going to be quite cold overall. The high will only manage to reach the lower 40s during the afternoon. Not exactly beach weather, huh? As night falls, prepare for another brisk evening, with overnight temperatures dipping to the lower 20s inland and hovering around the middle 20s alongside the beach.

Weekend Warming Up

But hold on tight, because relief is on the horizon! A *warming trend* is projected for the weekend. This Saturday, we can cheer as temperatures are expected to climb up to around 50 degrees. Perhaps that cozy sweater you’ve been itching to wear can finally make an appearance! You might see some high clouds sprouting up, but overall—it’s looking good.

Sunday Brings Pleasant Temperatures

Now, let’s talk Sunday: we’re looking at even more delightful weather with temps reaching the middle 50s at the beach and around the upper 50s inland. Perfect for a stroll along the coastline, just be sure to keep an eye out for the occasional winter wind! The upcoming week looks even sunnier as temps are forecast to sneak into the upper 60s by mid-week, edging close to a warm 70 degrees before we know it.

Nighttime Lows Remain Chilly

While the days are set to warm up, don’t let your guard down just yet! The *overnight lows* in Horry County will swing back to the chilly side, staying in the lower and mid 20s all week. For those in Conway, Saturday morning is expected to greet you with a brisk 26 degrees, dropping even lower to 25 degrees on Sunday morning. Myrtle Beach folks can anticipate lows near 30 degrees this chilly weekend.

Keep an Eye Out for Rain

After our lovely weekend, Monday looks to carry some warmth with highs in the 60s; however, don’t forget that chance of rain, with an 80% probability of precipitation. Better keep that umbrella handy! But wait, there’s more—by Thursday, we could face another chill with highs dropping back into the 40s and lows returning to those mid-20s once again.

Protect the Four Ps

Local meteorologists advise everyone to take extra precautions when diving into this cold weather. Remember the “four Ps”: people, pets, pipes, and plants. Protect your loved ones and furry friends to ensure a warm and safe winter, even if those temperatures dip below freezing!

So Myrtle Beach, get ready! Embrace the chilly weather and make sure you stay safe, warm, and cozy this weekend!
