One more round of storms to go
After weeks of relentless rain and storms, many are understandably ready for a break. Thankfully, just one more round of active weather stands between us and a stretch of quiet, sunny days. With moisture still trapped in the soil, patchy fog may develop early Sunday morning. However, skies will quickly clear, giving way to sunshine and temperatures rising into the 80s, accompanied by a light westerly breeze. Later in the afternoon and into the early evening, a cold front will move through the Ozarks, triggering another round of thunderstorms. These storms may bring large hail, damaging winds, and heavy downpours. Once this final wave of storms passes, a welcome stretch of dry, sunny weather is expected. Highs in the 80s and mostly sunny skies are forecast for Monday through Wednesday. For farmers looking to cut and bale hay, this could be the window you've been waiting for. That said, a few showers may return late Thursday, with additional rain chances possible to close out the week. Download our KOLR 10 weather app Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

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:
