MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — We have a soggy Thursday coming up for the area. Overnight rain has continued this morning along the Grand Strand. As you move westward into the Pee Dee and Border Belt, rain is more scattered. We are battling some dry air from a high pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coast. This is causing rainfall rates not to be as heavy as we had forecast yesterday. It is still very warm and muggy at the surface.
Heavy rain over the next few days

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – It has been a warm and muggy day across most of the Coastal areas. Once you get to Interstate 95 corridor and north, a late spring cold air damming situation has set up. Dry high pressure is building into a warm and moist environment. This is providing clouds to the area, and cooler conditions for Florence, Lumberton, Laurinburg, Marion into Bennettsville. We will see clouds and a occasional sprinkle across the area this evening.
