MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - The light rain continues to fill in this morning. While seven consecutive days of rain chances sounds daunting, the rain will be scattered. If you have weekend plans, the rain shouldn’t cancel or hinder outdoor events, but have the umbrella handy.

Most of the rain Saturday will be on the lighter side, and tend to be with us through the morning. By the afternoon, there will be more chances for breaks from the rain. High temperatures stay mild in the middle to low 60s.

Of all the days, Sunday is showing the lowest chances for rain, only about 20%. This means most of the day will be dry, with the exception of a pop up isolated shower. This rain will be light, and shouldn’t interrupt any outdoor plans. Temperatures are cooler through, starting off in the 40s and only reaching the middle 50s.

Into next week Monday features a 40% of on and off rain to start the work week, but Tuesday is trending to be the soaker with rain chances up to 70-80%. Scattered showers continue Wednesday and Thursday before finally starting to fall by Friday morning. Of course these chances and trends can and will change over the coming days, so the numbers aren’t set in stone.

When all is said and done, the 7 day rain totals remain lower over Grand Strand, only 1-2″. The Pee Dee will see about 2-3″ depending on if any batches of heavier rain set up Tuesday.

Rainfall totals over the weekend will only reach .25 to .50 inches for most areas with up to one inch well inland, but additional rainfall through next week will likely push rainfall totals to near 2 inches across most of the area. Some parts of the western Carolinas may see as much as 4 to 6 inches of rain.
