MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – A day of change across the region. Leading up to today, we had several warm days, and in fact record breaking days. That is all coming to an end. A cold front has moved through the area, much cooler and windier conditions have set up over the Pee Dee and Grand Strand. Tonight skies will be clear, that will allow temperatures to drop into the mid to upper 20s across the area. A red flag alert has been issued by the South Carolina Forestry Service through Sunday night. This may be extended into the next week.
Monday will be a day full of sunshine, but we will not warm much across the area. We will see highs warm into the upper 40s to low 50s across the area. Breezy conditions will make it feel a little cooler with a slight wind chill. We will continue to watch the increased risk of fire development, as dry conditions persists across the area. Please do not burn, wait til better weather conditions.
A dip in the jet stream will bring a chance of seeing a few showers move into the area Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning. This looks to relatively light showers, with only a 30% chance right now. As we go through Thursday night another little shot at some moisture will be possible. This time it could be in the form of maybe some isolated rain/snow showers, it should be no concern, being very similar to the November 10th set up. Something to watch over the next few days…
