URGENT UPDATE: Rain is sweeping across Myrtle Beach, SC today, causing a dreary end to the workweek. The latest forecast indicates that this much-needed rain will clear out just in time for a beautiful weekend ahead.
As of this morning, showers and steady rain continue to drench the area, driven by a stalled cold front just offshore. Residents are advised to prepare for wet conditions, with temperatures hovering in the mid to upper 50s, and some areas may see highs near 60°F.
While the heaviest rain has passed, widespread showers and pockets of steadier rainfall are expected to persist, especially in the early hours. Local parents should ensure kids are equipped with rain gear to navigate the damp conditions safely.
This afternoon, rainfall is projected to lighten, transitioning to pockets of drizzle and mist. As evening approaches, lingering clouds will give way to a light mist, but the downpour will largely subside.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday will start with cloudy skies, but a surge of drier air is expected to sweep through, diminishing any chance of drizzle. Temperatures will rise to a breezy low to mid-60s as the day progresses, making for a more pleasant atmosphere.
Sunday promises to be the highlight of the weekend with plenty of sunshine returning. Expect highs in the upper 60s for the beaches and lower 70s inland.
With the weather turning more inviting, this weekend is the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy outdoor activities and soak up the spring-like warmth.
