Rainy Weather Ahead for Myrtle Beach: What to Anticipate This Week

Rain on the Horizon: What to Expect in Myrtle Beach

Hey there, Myrtle Beach! If you thought today felt a bit unusual, you’re not alone. It looks like we’re in for a mix of weather this Wednesday. Most of the day might stay dry, but don’t put away those umbrellas just yet—by evening, the rain will be making its entrance, and it’s expected to hang around overnight.

A Warm Wednesday

Wednesday is bringing some lovely temperatures with highs reaching into the upper 70s to low 80s. Just imagine those warm rays peeking through the clouds while you sip your morning coffee! As the day unfolds, expect a combination of partly sunny skies and increasing clouds. However, nighttime will be a different story as temperatures drop to the upper 60s, about 20 degrees above average. Cozy up with your favorite blanket, because it’s going to be a warm one!

Get Ready for Rain Thursday

Now, about Thursday—it’s shaping up to be quite a soggy day. Water-lovers rejoice; the rain will be on-and-off throughout the day, especially in the Pee Dee area, which is expected to see the most persistent downpours. Rainfall estimates hover around 0.75 to 1.5 inches, a welcome relief after one of the driest October months on record and ongoing drought conditions in our area. Those of us who’ve been wishing for a downpour can celebrate this opportunity!

Temperatures on Thursday will dip a bit, landing in the mid-70s due to all those clouds and raindrops. But fear not! The rain’s timed pretty well with local events. Expect a break in the volatile weather just in time for the much-anticipated Coastal Carolina game against Appalachian State at 8 p.m. Kickoff temperatures are projected to hover around 70 degrees. So don’t forget your lucky jersey!

Friday and the Weekend Look Bright

Looking ahead to Friday, it appears the skies will clear up, showcasing that lovely sunshine we all adore. Temperatures will climb back up into the mid to upper 70s, which is perfect for weekend activities. Plan a beach day, a picnic, or explore the local attractions—whatever you decide, it promises to be delightful weather!

Keeping an Eye on Hurricane Rafael

Rafael is anticipated to be a Category 3 hurricane by the end of the day, packing enough punch to make a serious landfall in western Cuba this evening. Afterward, it’s headed for the Gulf of Mexico. The big question on everyone’s mind is: where is it going next? There’s a bit of disagreement among forecasters, with some models suggesting a track into Mexico, while others predict potential landfall in central Louisiana.

Whether you’re lining up for the game or just enjoying a cozy evening at home, keep an eye on the skies and grab those raincoats when necessary.
