Myrtle Beach bracing for potential winter weather next week.
Meteorologists are predicting a potential winter storm in Myrtle Beach next week, bringing the possibility of freezing rain, sleet, or even snow. While warm weather is expected this weekend, residents should prepare for plummeting temperatures and extreme conditions starting Monday. Authorities are advising locals to stay updated on weather forecasts and prepare accordingly as schools transition to eLearning amidst the looming cold front. As excitement and anxiety blend at the thought of uncommon snow, it’s crucial for the community to remain vigilant as the week unfolds.
Oh, Myrtle Beach, it seems like you’re in for an interesting few days ahead! As if winter wasn’t done with us just yet, meteorologists are predicting a possible winter storm may hit the Grand Strand area next week. But don’t panic just yet; let’s break down what you can expect!
Before we jump into winter storm talk, let’s take a moment to enjoy the weekend forecast. A storm system is set to roll through the area overnight, bringing some light rainfall. But fear not, as this rain will be a quick visitor. It’s expected to peak around midnight, starting with inland areas before it dips toward the sandy beaches.
But don’t worry, those raindrops will be light and friendly since the storm is moving faster than a beachgoer running to catch the last wave. By daybreak Saturday, we should be back to enjoying bright blue skies and warm sunshine, perfect for a weekend outing!
On Saturday morning, temperatures will greet you in the upper 40s if you’re further inland, while the beach might feel a bit cozier, resting in the lower 50s. As the day progresses, expect temperatures to warm up into the lower to middle 60s! Talk about a pleasant way to kick off the weekend.
Now, Sunday won’t be too shabby either. It may bring a slight cool down, but you’d still see highs in the middle to upper 50s along the coast and the lower 60s inland. So, whether you’re heading to the beach or staying indoors, grab a light jacket, just in case.
Hold your horses because post-weekend forecasts are looking unseasonably warm! Next week could have temperatures soaring into the 60s and even 70s — yes, please! By late next week, areas like Pee Dee could see temperatures flirt with the 80-degree mark. Sounds like spring is already trying to break through, but hold onto your hats; this is just the calm before the storm!
It is important to note, winter weather is quite rare for this part of South Carolina, so the thought of snow is exhilarating yet a bit anxiety-inducing! Temperatures are expected to dip into the low 20s, with highs only reaching the mid-30s from Monday through Wednesday. This means chilly conditions are definitely on the way.
While there’s high confidence in those frigid temperatures, there’s still a lot of uncertainty about what type of precipitation will actually hit the ground. So keep your fingers crossed; you might want to keep an eye on weather updates as the week progresses!
As the forecasts roll in, residents are encouraged to check reliable sources for the latest weather updates and, most importantly, prepare for these extreme conditions. The NWS is recommending measures to protect people, pets, plants, and pipes from the impending chill.
Local authorities and utilities are already gearing up, having experienced record power usage during the last winter storm. They’re preparing road treatments and emergency responses to ensure safety for everyone.
It’s worth noting that schools in Horry County have switched to eLearning to adapt to these challenging weather conditions. So, if you’ve got kiddos at home, be ready for remote learning days ahead!
Stay warm, Myrtle Beach, and keep your snow shovels handy just in case!
