According to National Weather Service, Greenville woke Friday to clear skies and temperatures in the low-to-mid 50s, but the afternoon will feel more like late summer than late October. Sunshine will push the high close to 80 degrees, making Friday the warmest day in the current forecast before cooler air settles in for Halloween weekend.
Friday Brings One More Warm Afternoon
Friday will stay sunny with no rain expected and a light north-northeast wind around 3 mph. Temperatures should climb quickly through the morning, reaching the upper 70s during the afternoon before easing into the 50s overnight.
The latest outlook is notably drier for the weekend than earlier forecasts. The National Weather Service’s Greenville-Spartanburg office now expects little to no rain through Tuesday, while Hoodline’s previous forecast had kept more attention on possible weekend showers.
Halloween Weekend Turns Breezier And Cooler
Saturday will be partly sunny with a high near 68 degrees, but a northeast wind of 9 to 15 mph could produce gusts up to 24 mph. Saturday night will be mostly cloudy with a low around 54, so outdoor plans may call for an extra layer once the sun goes down.
Sunday looks mostly cloudy and cooler, with a high near 65 and only a 2% chance of rain. The northeast breeze will continue, with gusts reaching around 18 mph, but there is no sign of a washout for Halloween weekend.
Mostly Dry Through Tuesday
Monday should turn mostly sunny with a high near 69, followed by another mostly sunny day Tuesday with temperatures near 72. Rain chances remain low through Tuesday afternoon, although a few showers could develop Tuesday night after 7 p.m.
Rain Chances Return Midweek
The next meaningful chance for rain arrives Wednesday, when showers are possible with a 50% chance of precipitation and a high near 72. Showers and thunderstorms remain possible Thursday, with a high near 74 and another 50% rain chance.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Greenville area. For now, Friday offers the best window for warm-weather plans, while the middle of next week is the stretch to watch for a wetter change.
