Greenville starts Saturday with clear skies, but the calm morning will give way to a punishing afternoon near 98 degrees. The heat index could reach 105 before showers and thunderstorms begin developing after 2 p.m., making outdoor plans a two-part weather gamble.
Saturday Heat Gives Way To Strong Storms
Temperatures will climb from the mid-70s early Saturday to the mid-90s by midday, with light north-northwest winds offering little relief. The National Weather Service says storms could become strong to severe, with damaging wind gusts and hail up to an inch possible, so keep more than one way to receive warnings nearby.
A slight or broken-line chance of storms is expected Saturday afternoon and evening, then eases somewhat overnight. Greenville should fall to around 72 degrees, with a chance of storms before 8 p.m. followed by partly cloudy skies.
Sunday Storms Bring A Cooler Holiday Weekend
Sunday will be less hot, with mostly sunny skies early and a high near 91 before another round of showers and thunderstorms develops from midafternoon into the evening. The chance of rain is 60% Sunday, when temperatures drop to about 69.
The storm threat remains the main concern through Sunday evening, particularly for outdoor Labor Day weekend plans. The latest forecast discussion says Sunday storms could still produce damaging winds and isolated hail, though the risk is lower than Saturday's setup.
Labor Day Turns Breezier And Cooler
Monday brings a noticeable change, with a high near 83, partly sunny skies and a 30% chance of showers and storms, making it feel more like an early-fall break from the weekend heat.
Sunny and drier weather returns Tuesday with a high near 87, followed by temperatures edging toward 90 Wednesday and continuing to warm through at least Thursday. For context, Hoodline's earlier forecast focused on the heat building toward the holiday weekend; the latest update adds a sharper storm threat and a cooler Monday reset.
