@CarolinaScanner any reports of a fire in Horry county near Green Sea?

[John W. Rankin @johncu71]

@jamiearnoldWMBF @wmbfnews check out the radar, looks like there might be another fire that popped near Green Sea or am I seeing it wrong?

@jgreenhillwx @AndrewWMBF @wmbfnews wet weekend would've been better than voluntary water restrictions. 🤷‍♂️

[John W. Rankin @johncu71]

@JeremyDeHartWX needs to send some rain to the Carolina desert.

[John W. Rankin @johncu71]

@jamiearnoldWMBF maybe the tropics heard about the voluntary water restrictions and want to try to help?🤷‍♂️🤣

[Allan Huffman @RaleighWx]

An uptick in EPS members showing some sort of tropical system in the Gulf in 7-14 days. Op ECMWF and GFS have also been showing this. Something to watch.

[Jamie Arnold WMBF @jamiearnoldWMBF]

Monday’s rain was nice, but still not enough. North Myrtle Beach has implemented voluntary water restrictions https://t.co/pjvC1pJhth
