Severe thunderstorms are predicted in Myrtle Beach, prompting residents to seek shelter.
Myrtle Beach is facing severe thunderstorms as a cold front approaches this week. Residents should prepare for hail and high winds, with storm warnings issued for nearby areas. While temperatures are set to warm up, safety is paramount during thunderstorms. Hydroplaning presents driving risks; locals are urged to seek shelter and be cautious on the roads.
Hey there, Myrtle Beach! It looks like we’re kicking off the week with a bit of a stormy twist. Sunday started off chilly, with temperatures hanging out in the upper 30s to lower 40s—definitely a reminder that winter isn’t quite done with us yet. While we got more sunshine than clouds throughout the day, the highs struggled to break through to the upper 60s and lower 70s. It almost felt like we were living in a sweater commercial for a little while!
As the sun sets, be prepared for a chilly overnight, with lows expected to dip back down into the 40s. So if you’re venturing out or just getting cozy for a movie night, you might want to grab a blanket or a warm drink! Come Monday morning, those waking up early will certainly feel that cool air, but fear not, warmer temperatures are on the way.
The forecast shows that temperatures will gradually warm up, eventually reaching the 80s across the Pee Dee and Grand Strand areas. Sounds perfect for enjoying the outdoors or getting some work done as we jump back into the work week.
The beginning of the week is looking clear and dry, with nice temperatures climbing into the upper 70s and lower 80s. But hang tight—there’s a cold front rolling in on Tuesday, which means cooler days will follow into Wednesday. Don’t worry, though; temperatures should start warming up again by the end of the week, just in time for the weekend. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that the weather cooperates, especially for any outdoor plans!
Now, let’s get to the more exciting part: the thunderstorms! An updated weather alert from the National Weather Service (NWS) just put out a warning for York County as of Friday afternoon. Strong thunderstorms are rolling through the area until about 3:45 p.m., producing nickel-sized hail and moving east at a brisk pace of 50 mph. That’s quite the weather show!
If you’re in Newport, York, Clover, Tega Cay, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Steele Creek, Lesslie, Catawba, or McConnells, you’ll want to take extra care. The thunderstorms are on the move, and it’s advisable to find safety indoors, away from those ominous skies.
As of Friday evening, a severe thunderstorm was detected near Goretown, just 15 miles northwest of Little River, and was expected to bring wind gusts up to 60 mph. The areas affected include Iredell, Loris Community Hospital, Pireway, Dulah, Nakina, Goretown, Loris, Bethel, Bughill, and Mollie. So, if you’re in those regions, it’s time to stay vigilant.
Local experts recommend moving to an interior room on the lowest floor of your building during storms. Remember, safety first! Thunderstorms can be pretty fierce, with an average of 25 million lightning strikes annually in the United States. So, if you hear the thunder rumbling, the time to seek shelter is now!
And while we’re at it, let’s talk about what happens when the rain comes down. Hydroplaning can make driving tricky, and it happens when a vehicle slides uncontrollably on wet roads due to water buildup in front of the tires. Factors like speed, tire tread depth, and water depth on the road can all contribute to this slippery situation.
So, drive carefully and keep an eye on the skies. While Myrtle Beach may have a lovely beach vibe, this weather is a strong reminder of nature’s power. Whatever your plans are, don’t forget your umbrella, and stay safe out there!
