Few storms possible
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – Another warm and humid night expected across the area. Temperatures will slowly fall to the low to mid 70s by sunrise Sunday morning. A line of thunderstorms will approach the Pee Dee right before midnight. We could see a few strong storms. Once the line reaches the Interstate 95 area, storms will weaken. A few clouds and maybe a surviving shower by Sunday morning. Sunday will feature another day of high heat and humidity. We will see partly cloudy skies. As the line of storms weakened, that will set up new boundaries that storms can form on Sunday afternoon. The sea breeze will help aid in the development as well. So watch for a few strong to severe storms possible Sunday afternoon. Highs will be in the low 90s, heat index values pushing 100. The rest of the week will continue to show daily thunderstorm threats, high heat and humidity. A very typical summer time pattern is setting up. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat. Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated. Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows. Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire. Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout. MORE:

Pinpoint Weather Alert: Overnight strong thunderstorms into Sunday afternoon ahead of drier conditions next week
(PINPOINT WEATHER) — Good evening and happy Saturday! Tonight is a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day as we are tracking some strong and severe thunderstorms moving through the Carolinas this evening. A few more storms are possible on Sunday afternoon before we get some drier weather as we kick off the new week. Along with the drier weather expect our temperatures to stay on the toasty side with highs near 90 degrees. As for tonight and your Sunday, a line of strong and severe storms will move through the region during the later evening and overnight hours with some of those storms likely being on the severe side. The biggest concern for these storms will be for strong and damaging winds along with quarter-size hail. The storms should start to move out after midnight, but some storms are possible overnight as well with lows in the mid-60s. Sunday more showers and storms are possible during the day with a storm or two being on the severe side. Highs on Sunday will again be around 90 with elevated mugginess. Heading into the new week, more warm temperatures are on the way for the Carolinas with perhaps a couple of showers and storms mixed in Monday and Tuesday. Highs to start the week will be near 90 along with more intense humidity for the region. We are expecting a weak cold front to move through later Tuesday, helping to make our humidity a little more comfortable during the second half of the week. But generally, this is going to be the first week where it truly feels like Summer all week long! So if you've been waiting for Summer weather, just know that it is here! Have a great night!
