Greenville is getting a calm, clear start Tuesday, with temperatures rising from the upper 50s into the low 80s under sunny skies. The quiet stretch will last through most of the week before rain and thunderstorms move in over the weekend.

Sunny Stretch Builds Through Friday

Tuesday will reach about 83 degrees, followed by sunny highs near 86 Wednesday and 87 Thursday. Friday stays mostly sunny and warmer, with a high near 88, while light winds generally remain below 6 mph.

Overnight temperatures will gradually climb from the upper 50s Tuesday night to the upper 60s Friday night. Some mountain valleys could still see early-morning fog or low clouds, but Greenville-area afternoons should offer the best weather window for outdoor plans.

Weekend Rain Arrives Later Than Earlier Forecasts

The rain timeline is earlier than an earlier Hoodline forecast, which placed possible showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon. Friday should remain mostly dry during the day, but showers could develop after 8 p.m., with a 30% chance of rain Friday night.

Saturday brings the bigger change, with showers and thunderstorms likely, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 82. The chance of precipitation is 70% during the day and remains at 70% Saturday night, when the low should settle near 65.

Cooler, Wetter Pattern Takes Over Sunday

Sunday looks unsettled, with rain showers likely before 2 p.m. and showers or thunderstorms continuing afterward. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a 70% chance of precipitation and a much cooler high near 75.

Monday remains part of the cooler pattern, with highs in the 70s. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Greenville area, but weekend plans should include a backup for wet weather and a noticeable cooldown.
