MYRTLE BEACH, SC – As we soak in the last vestiges of pleasant August weather, residents and visitors in Myrtle Beach can count on one more day of comfort before the familiar humidity reasserts itself over the weekend.
Expect another comfortable August evening tonight, with temperatures dipping into the middle and upper 60s inland, while beachside locales experience temperatures in the upper 60s to near 70. As the night progresses, anticipate mostly clear skies, with a possibility of a few areas encountering patchy fog.
For those seeking relief from the often harsh nature of August humidity, Friday proposes to manifest as the final oasis. Temperatures will launch the day in the 60s to near 70 range. With an abundance of sunshine anticipated, afternoon temperatures are predicted to rise to the middle to upper 80s. However, relief is still in the air as humidity levels remain low.
As we pivot towards the weekend, the reprieve from humidity will wind down. The introduction of increased moisture on Saturday brings with it a 20% chance of isolated showers or storms by afternoon. The return of the quintessential summer feel is anticipated by Sunday, with highs projected to reach 90 inland and mid to upper 80s along the shoreline, pushing heat indices close to 100. Chances of storms rise to 30% by Sunday afternoon and evening.
Future beach-goers are urged to take heed of an increased risk of rip currents and rough surf this weekend. The presence of Tropical Storm Ernesto, expected to pass about 800 miles to the east, prompts an elevated rip current risk throughout the weekend. Recreational water enthusiasts should consider these potential hazards before embarking on their beachside adventures.
