The Myrtle Beach area was under an “extreme cold watch” Friday, which was changed to a cold weather advisory early Sunday morning.
Residents saw some relief from the cold Saturday, when highs were in the 60s, but temperatures are expected to plummet again Sunday night with some of the “coldest temperatures of the season,” according to Bob Bright, a meteorologist with National Weather Service in Wilmington, North Carolina.
A dry cold front will move through the Myrtle Beach area Sunday morning with temperatures and wind chills falling quickly throughout the day. The cold watch is in effect from 10 p.m. Sunday through 10 a.m. Monday morning, according to the NWS.
While lows are expected to dip into the teens Sunday night, the wind chill will be between 6 to 12 degrees, the NWS said.
Monday’s high will be in the 40s and the low Monday night will be 22 degrees. But the wind chills should be above 15 degrees overnight, the NWS said.
Although the temps will be freezing, there is no precipitation expected, which means freezing roads or snow, Bright said.
Residents are told cover pipes and plants, as the extreme cold can cause frostbite, hypothermia, busted plants and damaged plants, the NWS said.
The average weather for the Grand Strand this time of year is usually in the 50s and 60s.
