Labor Day brings a sharp weather flip for Greenville. Showers are likely through late morning, with fog and a few thunderstorms possible before the day gradually dries out. The high should reach only 78 degrees, a notable break from the recent heat.
The National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office says early showers are possible, with drier conditions returning later Monday morning or early Monday afternoon. Rain totals of a quarter to half an inch are possible, while northeast winds will run 9 to 14 mph with gusts up to 22 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Localized Flooding Threat Eases After Daybreak
Slow-moving showers could produce nuisance to minor flooding, and localized flash flooding cannot be ruled out where multiple rounds of heavy rain pass over the same spot. The greatest concern through daybreak is mainly west of I-77. No watches, warnings or advisories were listed for South Carolina in the latest forecast.
Drier Monday Night, Clear Tuesday
Conditions should improve later Monday morning or early Monday afternoon, with partly cloudy skies and a low near 66 degrees Monday night. Tuesday turns sunny and warmer, with a high near 87 and northeast winds. Wednesday stays dry.
Heat Returns As Storm Chances Build Late Week
The cooler Labor Day weather will be brief, with temperatures running above normal later in the week. Shower and thunderstorm chances return Thursday afternoon and may linger through the weekend. That is a sharp turn from the heat-and-storm setup described in earlier Hoodline coverage, with the latest forecast now putting the emphasis on a wet, cooler holiday morning.
Anyone heading out for Labor Day should allow extra time for wet roads and possible fog through the morning. The afternoon looks more manageable, but outdoor plans may still need a quick radar check before heading out.
