FIRST ALERT: A few Wednesday showers followed by better rain chances for Friday

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Seasonable temperatures will continue through the end of the week with a few showers possible before better chances of rain arrive on Friday.

TONIGHT

Moisture will gradually increase across the area tonight leading to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures dropping into the middle 50s along the Grand Strand and to near 50 inland.

WEDNESDAY

An onshore flow on Wednesday will result in moisture continuing to increase across the region. As a result, skies will turn mostly cloudy. In addition, a few showers will be possible, but not widespread rain is expected with the chance of rain at just 30%.

UNSETTLED WEATHER LATE WEEK

Thursday will see another round of mostly cloudy skies at times and a stray shower or two. The risk of a stray shower remains at 30%. Thursday temperatures will once again reach into the lower to middle 70s.

Two areas of low pressure will impact the region through the weekend.(WMBF)

The first of two more organized storm systems will impact the area on Friday as a low pressure system moves through the Carolinas. Out of the next seven days, Friday has the highest potential to be a washout with periods of rain likely throughout the day along with some potentially heavy rain. A few embedded storms will be likely through the day on Friday. Despite the clouds and rain, temperatures will remain mild in the lower to middle 70s.

THIS WEEKEND

Low pressure system will move offshore by late Friday night with dry air returning for the first half of the weekend. With the drier air in place, Saturday’s forecast is rain-free and warm. With a mix of sun and clouds, afternoon temperatures will warm to near 80 at the beach and into the lower 80s inland.

The track of Sunday's system will determine how much rain the region sees.(WMBF)

A second system is set to impact the Carolinas on Sunday, but the eventual track will determine how much rain the region sees along with any risk of strong storms. The latest data suggests that the system passes south of the region keeping most of the rain off shore and eliminating any risk of severe storms. For now, we will maintain a 30% risk of showers and storms, but the Sunday forecast is subject to change.
