FIRST ALERT: Warm & beautiful week ahead

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Our taste of fall is coming to an end as we head into the new week, but it’s still a lovely forecast.

WARMING UP

A ridge of high pressure will continue to sit over the eastern half of the United States, providing for increasing heat & humidity through the middle of the week. Highs will climb into the lower 90s for the beaches with the middle 90s showing up for inland areas. Thankfully, upper-levels of the atmosphere will remain dry during this time, keeping us dry with a 0% chance of showers or storms through Thursday.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE

As we head into the weekend, a couple of disturbances will slide through the area. This will not only bring the risk for showers & storms but bring some slightly cooler temperatures with it. The first disturbance will be a wave of energy coming in from the northwest, bringing the risk for a few isolated showers & storms on Friday afternoon. Right now, the risk remains isolated at just 20%.

Our other chance of showers & storms would arrive with the incoming cold front that would move in from the northwest over the weekend before stalling in the area. This will keep the risk of pop up showers & storms around for both Saturday and Sunday with a 30-40% chance of showers and storms. Right now, it’s too early for specifics but we will be cooler. Highs fall into the middle to upper 80s for the weekend. Don’t cancel any plans!

A few more showers & storms will return for the weekend forecast. — A few more showers & storms will return for the weekend forecast.(WMBF)
