Greenville is waking up to mostly clear skies Tuesday, with temperatures in the mid-60s early and a sunny climb toward 86 degrees. Light east-northeast winds around 8 mph will keep the morning comfortable, but summer is not quite ready to leave.
Dry, Warmer Days Through Thursday
Tuesday night stays mostly clear with a low near 64 and northeast winds of 2 to 6 mph. Wednesday will be sunny with a high near 88, followed by a hotter Thursday near 91 under continued dry conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend, though expected heat-index values should stay below Heat Advisory criteria. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the forecast area. According to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, the 1991–2020 U.S. Climate Normals are the latest benchmark for comparing Greenville's forecast temperatures and precipitation. According to the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies' South Carolina State Climate Summaries 2022, temperatures in South Carolina have risen more than 1°F since the beginning of the 20th century.
Storm Chances Return Friday
Friday could reach 92 degrees under mostly sunny skies before a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops between 2 and 4 p.m., then increases later. Rain chances rise to 50% Friday night and Saturday, when Greenville could see showers and thunderstorms around a high of 90.
Weekend Plans Stay Flexible
Sunday and Monday remain hot near 90, with mostly sunny mornings and a 30% chance of afternoon storms Sunday, followed by a 20% chance Monday. Outdoor plans look safest during the dry stretch through Thursday; after that, keep an eye on the sky, especially during the afternoon and evening.
