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.

Canadian wildfire smoke engulfs Michigan's Mackinac Bridge, causing it to disappear
It's not Halloween, but it looks straight out of a horror movie: The Mackinac Bridge looked like it disappeared into some scary-looking fog Wednesday afternoon. "Unfortunately, what you're seeing today is not fog surrounding the @mackinacbridge but smoke coming from the wildfires and our neighbors to the North," the Mackinac Bridge Authority posted on X on Wednesday. For days, skies in Michigan have been a dull, chalky near-white. The smoke from some 77 out-of-control wildfires in Canada has been dominating the skies over the state. The level of air quality degradation varies from year to year — 2023 was a particularly bad year for wildfire smoke over Michigan. Last year, not so much. In 2025, the smoke has returned. The view from the bridge Thursday, June 5, is a bit clearer, but you can still see the smoke from the fires.
