Summer-like warmth is holding across the Myrtle Beach area, and the next few days are shaping up to feel more like late spring moving toward summer, with humidity hanging around and storm chances waiting later this week.
Tomorrow morning is expected to start in the upper 60s at the beaches and the low 60s in the Pee Dee. By afternoon, temperatures are forecast to climb into the low 80s along the coast and the low 90s inland, while south winds continue to push a touch of humidity through the afternoon.
That warm setup is expected to last through the rest of the week. Temperatures should stay in the low 80s at the beaches and the low 90s inland, but Thursday brings the first real change as a slow-moving cold front inches closer. Rain chances are expected to arrive in the Pee Dee on Thursday, while the beaches stay dry.
The front does not look like a clean sweep through the area. As the weekend begins, it is expected to lift north out of the region, but the lingering humidity means pop-up storm chances are likely to keep showing up each day. Those showers are expected to be scattered, with some areas getting rain while others stay dry.
That matters because the beaches are expected to be packed for Memorial Day weekend. Temperatures along the coast should hold in the low 80s, which is comfortable enough for the crowd, but a high UV index is also expected, making sun protection a bigger concern for anyone spending long hours outside.
For people making beach plans, the bottom line is straightforward: Myrtle Beach weather should stay warm, humid and mostly dry at the coast through Thursday, then turn more unsettled this weekend with scattered storms possible, especially inland. The beach itself is expected to stay busy, and the forecast does not point to a washout, but it does call for a close eye on the sky once Memorial Day weekend gets underway.
