Here’s the latest on what Hurricane Sally is bringing to the Grand Strand
Hurricane Sally’s remnants will include heavy rainfall and flash flooding to the Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand area throughout the week. Tornadoes and damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph are possible Thursday afternoon and evening.
The most severe weather will come from flooding caused by heavy rainfall. The most rainfall is expected late Thursday into Friday, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
Beaches along the coast are at high to moderate risk of rip currents through the weekend, and King Tides are expected to exacerbate flooding along the coast. The highest tide, at just under seven feet, is expected Thursday evening, which is predicted to be concurrent with the heaviest rainfall.
While inland South and North Carolina will see the heaviest downpours, coastal areas will experience up to three inches of rain and flash flooding. Flash flood watches have been issued for Horry and Georgetown counties and surrounding areas.
