Greenville woke Sunday to cloudy skies, heavy humidity and a lingering flood threat, with temperatures near 70 degrees early. Showers and an isolated thunderstorm may still move through this morning before the weather turns noticeably drier later in the day. The payoff is a sunny, warmer stretch that takes over Monday and lasts through much of the workweek.
Flood Watch Runs Through Sunday Afternoon
The National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office has a Flood Watch in effect for Greenville and nearby Upstate counties until 2 p.m. Sunday, warning that runoff could quickly flood creeks, streams, low-lying roads and other flood-prone spots. The watch follows a wet stretch that has left soils saturated, so even a short burst of heavy rain could create travel problems.
The new alert is a sharper turn from Hoodline’s Saturday forecast, which had already warned that rain and wind would arrive before Sunday morning. The current outlook now puts the emphasis on the flood threat early Sunday, followed by a much cleaner pattern.
Sunday’s forecast calls for a 50% chance of rain, with any heavier showers or thunderstorms most likely early and a high near 71. South-southwest winds will run 12 to 17 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, and the forecast allows another quarter to half inch of rain.
Sunny Skies And 80s Return Monday
Rain chances drop sharply Sunday night as skies clear and temperatures fall to around 59. Monday looks sunny with a high near 82, followed by another sunny 83-degree Tuesday and a warm 86-degree Wednesday.
Thursday stays sunny and mild near 84, while Friday remains dry near 80. A cooler turn arrives by Saturday, when the high is expected around 71 and the overnight low could dip to 43.
Until the watch expires, drivers should avoid flooded roads and low-water crossings rather than trying to judge the depth from behind the wheel. Stay alert for changing conditions and be ready to act quickly if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.
