Georgetown, SC

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - That same low pressure system that brought washout conditions yesterday will begin to make its way onshore this morning. As of 6am, the center of the low pressure system is about 20 miles off the coast of Georgetown. This system is moving slowly than molasses, but it’s expected to make it way onshore later this morning. This will continue to bring the chances for on and off showers during the morning hours. As the low moves farther inland, rain chance will decrease along the Grand Strand this afternoon. If you live in the Pee Dee, rain chances will linger in the afternoon. Temperatures are going to be slightly warmer with highs reaching in the low 70s across our area.

FIRST ALERT: Morning showers with conditions improving for Memorial Day
