For Myrtle Beach, SC, a tropical storm warning is in place until late tomorrow afternoon.
Good evening, everyone. Because of more tropical growth off the coasts of South Carolina and North Carolina, the National Weather Service has sent out a Tropical Storm Warning that will last until at least tomorrow late afternoon.
Tropical Depression #8 has officially formed, and it’s likely to get worse. Wind gusts of up to and probably more than 60mph are likely in places like Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. At the same time, winds that don’t die down will likely be between 45 and 50 mph, which could damage things across a large area.
Along with the rough surf, rough waves, beach erosion, and small to moderate coastal flooding, we expect this to have severe weather as well. As with any tropical storm that hits land, expect heavy rain, frequent lightning, damaging winds, hail, and the chance of many short tornadoes.
The action should start tonight and last until late tomorrow afternoon. After that, everything will move inland, into the middle of North and South Carolina, where worse weather is predicted.
