Thursday, January 28, 2010  A gorgeous Thursday on tap for us with sunny skies warming us into the upper 50s along the Grand Strand and low 60s Inland. Enjoy it because a cold front will roll on through with a few clouds overnight and much colder air to follow. Temps will drop into the mid and upper 30s overnight and struggle to reach 50 on Friday afternoon. Friday will remain dry during the daylight hours, but some cold rain showers will push into the Pee Dee overnight and eventually to the Grand Strand by daybreak. With cold air in place along the Northern Pee Dee and border belt, the concern for freezing rain and sleet exists. We'll be monitoring this approaching system closely as a slight deviation in the track to the north or south could change the type of precipitation you see.

Friday, January 08, 2010  Another blast of Arctic air is beginning to rush into the area behind a cold front that pushed through this morning. Temperatures will remain in the upper 30s through the afternoon and then drop quickly tonight into the upper teens Inland and low 20s along the Grand Strand. Cold & windy conditions are expected throughout the weekend as high tempreatures struggle to reach the mid to upper 30s each afternoon. Wind will also be a dangerous factor coupled with the cold air pushing the wind chill temperatures down near single digits in the mornings and 20s for the afternoon.
