MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – Scattered showers are back for the first half of today before more heat builds back in for Thursday. We’re also giving you the First Alert to a surge of tropical moisture bringing the best storm chances of the week Friday.
Wednesday
High humidity streaming into the Carolinas will keep skies mostly cloudy and shower chances around through the first half of the day. Grab the rain gear and prepare for a wet morning commute to work as you step out the door this morning.
Thankfully, as we head into the afternoon hours, peeks of sunshine should begin to return. That sunshine should begin to reveal itself starting in the Pee Dee this afternoon and heading toward the beaches by the late afternoon and into the early evening hours.
As the skies brighten and the rain ends, expect temperatures to reach the mid-to-upper 80s.
Heat Returns Thursday
The brief break ends Thursday. This is your First Alert.
Temperatures surge back into the 90s — reaching 90° along the Grand Strand and climbing into the lower-to-mid 90s inland. When you factor in the humidity, it will feel like 100° to 105°. We dealt with this same stretch of heat last week. This time, expect this heat to only last for Thursday.
We’ll keep an isolated shower or storm in the forecast LATE for Thursday, before better rain chances arrive overnight and into Friday.
Tropical Moisture Arrives Friday
A surge of tropical moisture tied to a developing tropical system in the Gulf will move into the Carolinas on Friday, increasing our chance for showers and storms.
A weak cold front and the combination of tropical moisture set up our best rain chance of the week, especially during the middle of the day…
