Dense smoke this morning, the first alarm weather day, which was spent on Wednesday for strong storms

Myrtle Beach, SC (WMBF) – Dense smoke leads to travel problems, air quality concerns and slows down when you step out of the door this morning. We also explain Wednesday with increasing wind as First alarm weather day for the potential of strong storms. Let us guide us through the next 48 hours.

TODAY

Take time this morning, especially if you lead close to the Carolina Forest community near the Carolina Forest Community and the areas northwest. A south -east wind pushes the worst smoke towards 501.

Even if your view is okay in your house, you will probably smell the smoke in the distance. An air quality warning is equipped for the entire horry County until further notice.

As we go all day long, the winds are actually picked up with gusts of 20 to 25 miles per hour that are expected this afternoon. This will consider the potential for some forest fire problems and challenges for first aiders because they work hard to control hot spots.

Today's temperatures will start cool this morning in the 1930s. While we go all day long, the temperatures for the beaches and the upper 60s and lower 70s should rise to the low 1960s for internal areas. There is enough warm so that you want to go outside today, but enough problems with the air quality, in which Indoor plans are not a bad idea. We will start the day with sunshine and end the day with a cloudy sky, while the sky in front of the cold front on Wednesday and the threat to storm.

First alarm weather day Wednesday

Wednesday is now a first watchful weather day and the wind will be the big topic of conversation.

In the lower parts of the atmosphere, there is a lot of wind energy that the storm forecast center has improved our area at a serious risk of level 3 for Wednesday.

The overall structure of this system screams wind. The winds will drill up to 30-40+ miles per hour outside of showers or storms on Wednesday. There is just so much winding with which it can be worked, even if it doesn't rain, the wind is overdue all morning.

The approaching cold front brings the line of the gusty showers to internal areas until late morning. The latest data this morning may seem to be faster than last night. An earlier arrival of this striker line will limit the small storm fuel that we already had, but still deliver a lot of wind along the front edge.

While we go to the middle of the day and in the early afternoon, the showers will slide in horry County and finally push through the Grand Strand. A few isolated gusts of over 60 miles per hour cannot be excluded along the leading showers. We should see how sunshine returns to the middle of the afternoon and through the evening. Winds will remain gusty.

This seems to be a classic wind energy setup with low storm fuel for the Carolinas, which usually leads to some strong to severe storms, but not too widespread storm. While everyone takes up the urgently needed precipitation, not every storm or shower is caused. There seems to be enough shoot to support the risk of a remote tornado. We have to see that when the line presses into the area tomorrow morning and through the afternoon.

The wind in the next 48 hours makes it difficult for the first aiders who are fighting against the ongoing forest fires. While our humidity is increasing in the next few days, strong gusts of wind could lead to some forest fire problems and flare -ups. Fortunately, we will grasp an urgently needed rain from this system, but it will not be sufficient to completely end the forest fire threat or to end our persistent drought. Most locations will absorb about half a customs of rain, while a few places are lucky enough to be closer to one centimeter.
