Greenville is starting Friday with debris cloudiness and lingering showers and storms, and the unsettled weather is expected to continue. Temperatures will climb toward 91 degrees before showers and thunderstorms become likely this afternoon, bringing the potential for heavy rain, damaging wind gusts and isolated flash flooding.
Storms Arrive This Afternoon
Friday morning is expected to feature debris cloudiness and lingering showers and storms across much of the forecast area. The forecast calls for partly sunny skies through midday, with storms becoming more likely around 2 p.m. and continuing into the evening.
The National Weather Service office in Greenville-Spartanburg expects a 60% chance of precipitation Friday. Some storms could produce stronger wind gusts, while slow-moving downpours may overwhelm drainage in spots and create isolated flash flooding, particularly later in the day, according to National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg.
Friday Night Stays Wet
Showers and thunderstorms remain likely Friday evening and could linger into the overnight hours. Rain chances rise to about 70%.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for Greenville County, but the combination of thunderstorms and locally heavy rain warrants caution. Drivers should avoid flooded roads, and anyone outdoors should move inside when thunder is heard.
