Greenville is starting Wednesday, September 16, with low-end VFR to MVFR stratocumulus and possible low clouds and fog through at least midmorning, with temperatures near 70 degrees. The cool-ish opening act will give way to a hot, mostly sunny afternoon. The high is expected to reach near 90, with light east-northeast winds and no rain in the forecast.

Heat Builds Through Friday

Tonight stays mostly clear and drops to around 66. Thursday turns sunnier and hotter, reaching 91, before Friday pushes to about 95; a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives after 2 p.m. Friday, with another chance lingering into Friday night.

The latest Hoodline forecast had already pointed to a warmer stretch, but the newest outlook raises Saturday’s rain chances. Saturday should have a high near 87, with more numerous afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, while the threat for significant severe weather remains low.

Weekend Storm Chances Stay Manageable

Sunday looks mostly sunny with a high near 88 and only a slight chance of afternoon storms. Rain chances rise again Monday, when Greenville may reach 89, then Tuesday’s forecast remains unspecified.

The National Weather Service lists no watches, warnings or advisories for the area. Outdoor plans should be easiest today and Thursday, while Friday afternoon and Saturday will be the days to keep an eye on the sky and allow extra time for wet roads.
