FIRST ALERT: A few showers and storms tonight, a few more this weekend

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) - Scattered showers and storms will be likely at times tonight before dry weather briefly returns on Friday. A few more downpours will be possible at times over the Easter weekend.

TONIGHT

A weak cold front will drop into the region late this evening and pass through the area overnight tonight. Scattered showers and storms will develop in some areas. While no severe weather is expected, a few stronger storms will be possible with some gusty winds and locally heavy rain at times.

EASTER WEEKEND

Good Friday will start with a stray shower or two possible before sunrise, otherwise expect some lingering clouds with times of sunshine along with slightly cooler temperatures in the lower to middle 70s. Any plans Friday evening look dry!

Saturday will see another storm system move into the Carolinas and will bring a risk of a few showers and storms once again especially during the day on Saturday. The day will not be a washout with the chance of showers and storms at 40%.

Easter Sunday will see a mix of sun and clouds through the day and a lingering risk of a shower or two. The best chance will arrive later in the day with sunrise services likely remaining rain-free and partly cloudy.

A better risk of rain arrives Sunday night into Monday. Widespread rain and cloud cover looks likely by Monday to start next week.
