FIRST ALERT: Warm & wet New Year’s Eve on tap

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Unseasonably mild weather lingers through the New Years Holiday weekend along with a bout of showers on New Years Eve.

NEW YEAR’S EVE

The day will start with cloudy skies and a few light showers at times. A few showers will remain possible through the day, but it will not be a washout. The highest risk of rain arrives from the afternoon through the evening hours when a few heavier downpours will be possible. Temperatures will remain very mild once again. Morning temperatures in the middle and upper 50s will climb into the upper 60s to near 70 by the afternoon.

Party-goers on Saturday night will have to contend with some lingering showers at times, but overall rain chance will be on the decline through midnight. It will be very mild with temperatures only dropping into the upper 50s by sunrise on Sunday.

NEW YEAR’S DAY

2023 will be off to a very warm start. Morning clouds will give way to increasing sunshine through the day. Mild weather will remain in place with afternoon temperatures returning to the upper 60s to near 70.

The mild weather lingers through most of next week with daily temperatures in the 60s and 70s at least through Thursday. Another rain maker looks to deliver showers and possibly some thunderstorms by Wednesday and Wednesday night.
