FLANNEL ALERT for Friday and Saturday nights (and into next week), with temps dropping into the 30s almost everywhere. Frost is possible Friday night inland, but it depends on how light the wind is. Saturday will likely bring the first frost of the season for many, especially inland.
Ahead of a strong but dry cold front, it will be warm and breezy Thursday, with highs in the 70s. Colder air will settle in on Friday and the weekend. It will stay quite cool next week, too.
Had two great events today. First up was the kick-off of our Talkin' Trash campaign with the Solid Waste Authority of Horry County. Congrats to Aynor Elementary on being one of this month's winners! Next, I was honored to emcee the Veterans Day Ceremony at VFW Post 10420 in Murrells Inlet. The post did an awesome job. Thank you, Vets!
VETERANS DAY 2026
As many of you know, I come from a long line of proud veterans, and their service is one of my familyโs greatest sources of pride.
My great-uncle, for whom I was named, served as a Doughboy in World War I. My grandfather fought in World War II, was wounded four times during the Battle of Bastogne, and earned two Bronze Stars for his bravery. My dad carried that tradition forward when he joined the Marine Corps in 1964. He served for 30 years, retiring in 1994 as a Master Gunnery Sergeant.
On this Veterans Day, I honor them and every veteran who has answered our nationโs call. Behind each uniform is a person who accepted extraordinary responsibility, and a family who shared in the sacrifices that service required.
To all who have served, thank you for your courage, your dedication, and the freedoms you helped preserve. To the families who stood beside you, thank you for your strength and sacrifice, too.
Iโm forever proud of my familyโs legacy and forever grateful to everyone who has worn our countryโs uniform.

It's going to feel a bit more like January, starting Friday and lasting into next week. Expect several days with 30s in the morning and 50s in the afternoon.
Veterans Day looks beautiful with sunshine and temperatures in the 70s. The strong front coming Thursday will lack moisture, so it's entirely possible no one sees rain. It will be rather windy, though.
Our first real blast of cold air arrives Thursday night, settles in Friday, and stays through the weekend. Weโll have sunshine here, but parts of the Tennessee and North Carolina mountains are expecting snow. A classic northwest flow pushes moist air up the mountains, wringing out snow as it rises and cools.
Accumulations could range from a dusting in the lower elevations to as much as 3 inches on some of the highest peaks. Itโs not a lot, but itโs a start!
For our area, no snow, but it will be cool and windy.
Another great morning of talking weather with the wonderful residents of Cameron Village near Socastee! Thanks for having me. It was great to see everyone!
Scotland County resident Glenn Poplin was in Haw River east of Greensboro and captured this gorgeous fall scene. What stunning autumn color!
