Tropical Storm Andrea kicks off 2025 Atlantic hurricane season
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — The first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season is here, and it is nearly right on schedule as the first named storm historically forms around June 20. This was an area of interest that was highlighted on Sunday morning. It was initially given a 10% chance of developing, which was upped to 70% by Monday morning, before decreasing to a 50% chance Tuesday morning. Tropical Storm Andrea was upgraded a little after 10 a.m. Tuesday. The system is a very small, weak, and disorganized system, but it has sustained tropical storm-force winds of 40 mph. It is tracking further into the Atlantic, speeding to the east-northeast at 17 mph. The storm is no threat to the United States and is thousands of miles out to sea in the north-central Atlantic. It is expected to fizzle by Wednesday morning. * * * Meteorologist Hannah Rahner joined the News13 team in January 2022.

Conway bans outdoor burning because of possible ‘elevated wind speeds
CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) — The city of Conway issued a ban on outdoor burning on Thursday because of concerns about possible 'elevated wind speeds.' 'These conditions create a greater-than-average potential for outdoor fires to escape easily and spread rapidly,' the city said in a Facebook post. The open burning of yard debris, bonfires, fields, yards or ditches is prohibited. Fire pits, chimineas and portable fireplaces are allowed as long as users follow manufacturer guidelines and they remain 15 feet from any structure. It is expected to be dry and warm on Thursday with afternoon temperatures in the mid- and upper-70s, according to News13 meteorologist Hannah Rahner. A cold front will move through the region Thursday evening, bringing light rain. Temperatures will fall back into the low 60s on Friday. * * * Dennis Bright is the Digital Executive Producer at News13. He joined the team in May 2021.
