Conway, South Carolina –In anticipation of possible effects on Horry County from Tropical Storm Bonnie, the National Weather Service has issued a tropical storm warning this evening for parts of the southeastern coast to include Horry County. A tropical storm warning means that conditions are expected somewhere within the specific coastal area within 36 hours.
Emergency management officials urge citizens and our many visitors who are here for the Memorial Day weekend to have their preparations in place. This particular storm is anticipated to bring between 1-3 inches of rain over the next several days, but winds will remain low. Motorists and urged to use extreme caution when traveling as roads will be slick and ponding could occur.Also rip currents along the coast of Horry County could pose a moderate threat. It is advised to swim near a lifeguard and remember to heed the advice of the local beach patrol and flag warning systems.
Rip currents are powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away from shore. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help and remain calm. Do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
