Myrtle Beach, SC – As we kick off this week, it looks like the sun is ready to shine, and the temperatures are on the rise! Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue or just enjoying an evening stroll, tonight’s weather is absolutely delightful. With temperatures lingering comfortably in the 80s, it’s the perfect time to fire up those grills and enjoy a great meal outdoors.
As we transition into the overnight hours, temperatures are expected to dip into the upper 60s in the Pee Dee and low 70s along the Grand Strand. We’re in for a treat with mostly clear skies, providing a cozy ambiance as you relax outside. There’s nothing quite like a pleasant evening spent under the stars!
Tomorrow morning greets us with mostly sunny skies, making for a cheerful start to the work week. Morning commuters can expect mild temperatures in the 70s, but don’t let that fool you—things are heating up quickly! Thanks to a high-pressure system hanging out over Georgia, warmer air is making its way to our coast.
By this afternoon, expect highs in the 80s, along with humidity that will start creeping up. And who knows? We might see a pop-up storm or two later in the day. Keeping your eyes on the sky could be beneficial if you have outdoor plans this week!
This week, we’ll notice the humidity increasing thanks to warm, moist winds coming from the southwest. Temperatures are likely to settle around the mid 80s at the Grand Strand and possibly reach the upper 80s in the Pee Dee. Some areas might even flirt with the 90-degree mark! The combination of heat and humidity might lead to heat indices nudging into the mid 90s, so staying hydrated will be key. And if you’re out this week, be prepared for those unexpected showers that could pop up at any moment!
Now, while the weather is mostly calm for the next few days, we do have our eye on a significant weather development by the end of the week. By Monday and Tuesday, meteorologists are monitoring an area of low pressure forming in the northern Caribbean/southern Gulf of Mexico that may evolve into our next named storm: Helene.
Current forecasts suggest that the chances of this system developing into a tropical depression stand at a solid 70% according to the National Hurricane Center. There’s potential for landfall in the U.S., and preliminary forecasts suggest it could reach Category 1 hurricane status by Thursday or Friday. But don’t fret just yet; we have plenty of time to watch how this system develops.
If this tropical system develops as anticipated, it could bring significant moisture to our area, which means increased rain chances by the end of the week. However, it’s still quite early, and we can’t predict how much rainfall may come our way just yet. We’ll need to stay tuned and keep a close eye on the forecasts as the week unfolds.
So while the early part of the week looks promising with sunny weather and warm temperatures, we should remain vigilant about the potential changes coming later on. Enjoy the lovely weather while we have it, and stay prepared for what might come our way!
