Greenville, SC – The US National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, is closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Debby. Currently situated well to the south, Debby is projected to potentially impact the western Carolinas by mid to late this week. While today is expected to be a near-normal summer day, residents should prepare for possible changes.
According to the latest forecast, heavy rain poses the primary threat, particularly over the Piedmont region of the Carolinas. The five-day precipitation forecast indicates significant rainfall, with areas like Greenwood, Monroe, and Salisbury likely to receive between 1.44 to 1.67 inches of rain.
The hurricane, now moving through the Florida Big Bend, is expected to weaken as it progresses over south Georgia later today. Despite this weakening, the remnants of Debby could still bring substantial rainfall to the Carolinas. The weather service advises residents to stay updated on weather conditions and prepare for potential heavy rain and hazardous conditions later in the week.
