Myrtle Beach Weather Alert: Batten Down the Hatches!

Hey there, Myrtle Beach! If you’ve been feeling the winds pick up and spotting some ominous clouds rolling in, you’re not imagining things! The National Weather Service has issued a severe weather alert for our beautiful area, so it’s time to grab your raincoat and prepare for some wild weather!

What’s Happening?

As of now, the forecast includes gusty winds and sporadic showers that will stick around until about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. The alert covers not just Myrtle Beach but also nearby spots like Coastal Georgetown and Northern Horry. So, if you’re in a coastal part of our community, pay attention!

How Gusty Will It Get?

Brace yourselves because the wind gusts could reach up to 40 mph today! That’s enough power to knock over small tree limbs and send your loose garden decor flying. Watch out for anything you’ve got outdoors that might not be secure!

Where Are the Showers?

Doppler radar has picked up on some gusty showers, with a line extending from Shannon to just east of Mullins, and are heading towards Hampton Plantation State Park. This weather is moving southeast at approximately 45 mph, so it’s on the move!

Who Needs to Pay Attention?

The alert is truly for everyone in the area, including popular spots like:

  • Myrtle Beach
  • Lumberton
  • Conway
  • North Myrtle Beach
  • Georgetown
  • Whiteville
  • DeBordieu Colony
  • Surfside Beach
  • Elizabethtown
  • Sunset Beach
  • Ocean Isle Beach
  • Pawleys Island
  • Murrells Inlet
  • Springmaid Pier
  • Garden City
  • North Myrtle Beach Airport
  • Cherry Grove Inlet
  • Myrtle Beach Airport
  • Little River
  • Yawkey South Island

Also, keep in mind that Interstate 95 in North Carolina, particularly between mile markers 10 and 38, is under this weather alert as well.

Thunderstorm Watch

In addition to the wind and rain, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 5 p.m. This means there’s a chance for some intense storms, so don’t let complacency set in. It’s the perfect day to stay indoors.

Safety Tips

For those who find themselves outdoors during these stormy conditions, it’s best to seek shelter right away. Consider your safety first! If you’re driving, be cautious. Avoid flooded roads at all costs, and if you hit a flooded area, make a U-turn as powerful currents can easily sweep your vehicle off the road.

And here’s a little driving tip: watch out for hydroplaning! It occurs when your vehicle slides uncontrollably on wet roads, often due to water pressure building up in front of your tires. If you feel your car start to hydroplane, take your foot off the gas and steer straight until you regain traction.

Stay Updated!

It’s important to keep up with the latest updates from local weather reports as conditions can change rapidly. Stay safe and snug, Myrtle Beach, and keep your eyes on the sky!
