Greenville, SC – Strong to severe storms are expected to impact the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia throughout Sunday morning, bringing damaging winds and the potential for isolated tornadoes.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, the primary risk is damaging winds of 58 mph or greater. While the overall threat of severe storms diminishes by the afternoon, isolated tornadoes and nuisance flooding remain possible, particularly in parts of southwest North Carolina and the Georgia-South Carolina border region.
Forecasters emphasize that strong thunderstorms may continue developing during the morning hours before weakening later in the day. Residents in affected areas should remain alert for rapidly changing conditions and potential warnings issued by local authorities.
Gusty winds are expected to persist into the afternoon, even as storm redevelopment looks unlikely. The National Weather Service advises securing outdoor objects and exercising caution while traveling due to strong wind gusts.
Those in the storm’s path are encouraged to monitor weather alerts and have multiple ways to receive emergency warnings. The public should stay indoors during severe weather and avoid travel in flood-prone areas.
