Myrtle Beach residents are urged to take precautions as the National Weather Service issues severe weather alerts. Strong showers and high winds are expected, causing potential disruptions throughout the area. A tropical storm warning is in effect, and residents are advised to seek shelter until conditions improve. In addition, the local schools will shift to e-learning due to the severe weather forecast, impacting weekend plans and safety. Stay tuned for updates as the community braces for the stormy weather ahead.
Myrtle Beach residents, be prepared! The National Weather Service has issued a weather alert this Sunday morning that is sure to shake things up. At 11:01 a.m., strong showers were predicted to move through the area until about 11:30 a.m., bringing with them some ominous wind gusts potentially reaching up to 40 mph. So if you were planning to enjoy a lovely day outdoors, you might want to rethink those plans.
So what’s happening exactly? Doppler radar has picked up strong showers stretching along a line from near Longs to Bucksport and moving toward North Santee at a brisk pace of 35 mph. This is bound to disrupt your Sunday vibe, especially since those gusty winds may knock down tree limbs and send unsecured objects flying around like a scene from a wild action movie.
The alert isn’t only for Myrtle Beach; nearby areas like Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, and even the Myrtle Beach Airport are all in the crosshairs. If you’re in places like Surfside Beach, Sunset Beach, or Murrells Inlet, keep your eyes peeled too—this weather won’t discriminate!
It’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you’re outside, it’s highly advisable to seek shelter indoors until this storm passes. It might be the perfect excuse to cozy up on the couch or dive into that book you’ve been meaning to read!
And it doesn’t stop there! A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will remain active until 3 p.m. for southeastern North Carolina, so keep those weather apps handy for updates. Plus, the Myrtle Beach area is under a tropical storm warning because of Tropical Cyclone Eight brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. This means we can expect tropical storm-force winds throughout Monday afternoon, especially in cherished spots like Surfside Beach, Myrtle Beach, and North Myrtle Beach.
As for rainfall, the Myrtle Beach area is predicted to see totals ranging from 2 to 3 inches, accompanied by those gusty winds peaking at 50 to 60 mph. Inland areas of Horry County, however, may get slightly less rain at about 1.5 to 2 inches, with milder gusts around 25 mph.
But that’s not all; beachgoers, tread carefully! The surf is expected to be rough, with waves ranging from 2 to 6 feet high, and the risk of rip currents remains incredibly high. So, if you were considering a beach day, you might want to hold off for a safer time.
The weather has a few additional surprises in store. There’s a marginal risk of tornadoes, particularly around North Myrtle Beach, while flash flooding and coastal flooding could be an issue during high tides. Better to play it safe!
And for local students, there’s a change coming. Horry County Schools will be switching to an e-learning day on Monday because of the storm. It looks like school’s going digital just when you thought you’d have a day off!
Over the weekend, Myrtle Beach wasn’t without its rain, either. North Myrtle Beach reported around 0.83 inches of rain on Saturday alone. And the weather doesn’t seem to show any mercy, as a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for various counties, including Robeson and Florence, due to incoming wintry weather. So, folks, it’s going to be a stormy few days ahead!
Stay tuned and stay safe, Myrtle Beach! We’ll weather this storm together.
