Hot and humid this weekend
Hot, humid weather will continue through the weekend. The high pressure that’s been controlling our weather all week has started to weaken. It will still be hot and humid but it will not be as hot as it has been the past few days. The heat index will still top out in the triple digits but not as high as 108° like it was in Myrtle Beach yesterday. We will see a mix sun and clouds today through Sunday with high temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s. The weather will mainly be dry, but there will be a slight chance for a few showers along the Border Belt tomorrow afternoon, and a slight chance for a thunderstorm on Sunday. The better chance for rain and storms will be Monday and Tuesday with a cold front that will push through. This front will drop temperatures into the 80s for the middle of next week.
