Sunny start to the new workweek
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Today will be mostly sunny, with highs staying near normal. Some Canadian wildfire smoke is making its way south, leaving us with fairly hazy sky conditions. A chance for an isolated shower is possible this afternoon, but most look to stay dry. We will have mainly clear skies tonight, with lows dipping into the 60s. High pressure will control our weather for much of the upcoming week. This will bring sunny, warm weather through Wednesday. High temperatures will be in the 80s through midweek before the Pee Dee sees a chance for low-90s. Humidity will increase toward the end of the week as high pressure weakens. This will bring a chance for scattered late-day thunderstorms. A cold front could move into the Carolinas by Sunday, bringing a better chance for thunderstorm activity. The Carolina Country Music Fest begins later this week. The chance for scattered showers is increasing, although there will be some periods of dry time. Plan for some rain in case.
