Feels like 75°·Light breeze 8 mph SSW
Now. North Myrtle Beach is 75° and clear at 10 PM. The dew point is 72°, so the air feels very oppressive. Light breeze from the south-southwest at 8 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 68° by 6 AM, under a mostly clear sky. No rain is expected for the rest of the day.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 82°, and the coolest Sunday, near 63°. Rain is likely Saturday (53%). The windiest day is Saturday, with wind to 22 mph.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 25% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. The Orionids meteor shower is active, peaking around Oct 21: at its peak, up to about 20 meteors an hour can be seen from a dark site. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 23 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.

Rip current risk today: low
The flag in the picture is the colour of the forecast's risk (green low, yellow moderate, red high), not a flag raised on the beach.
A rip current is a narrow stream of water running out from the shore through the surf, often where fewer waves break. Caught in one, swim across it, along the shore, then back in.
