Greenville experienced morning MVFR stratus across the Upstate on Wednesday, but the Upstate’s brief dry spell is about to give way to a hotter, stormier stretch. Temperatures will climb from the mid-60s early to near 88 this afternoon, with sunshine and light southeast winds.

Sunny Today, Hotter Thursday And Friday

Wednesday night stays mostly clear with a low near 67. Thursday looks even hotter and sunny, topping out around 92, while Friday could reach 92 as humidity builds and heat peaks ahead of returning storm chances.

Storm Chances Jump Saturday

A few showers or thunderstorms could develop after 2 p.m. Friday, with a 30% chance during the day and 50% Friday night. Saturday is the bigger change, bringing showers and thunderstorms at times, an 80% chance of rain and a high near 89.

The latest outlook sharpens the weekend timing described in Hoodline’s earlier forecast: Friday starts the transition, but Saturday carries an 80% chance of rain in the near-term forecast. Saturday night remains unsettled, with a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a low around 69.

Hot And Humid Pattern Lingers Into Next Week

The National Weather Service says repeated rounds of heavy rain could create a low-end flooding concern in places that receive multiple downpours, though no watches or warnings are listed for South Carolina. Sunday brings another chance for storms, with a high near 90 and a 30% precipitation chance.

Monday and Tuesday stay mostly sunny but warm, with highs near 89 and 90, while afternoon showers and thunderstorms remain possible. The best window for outdoor plans is Wednesday and Thursday, before Friday’s heat and the weekend’s wetter pattern move in.
