Greenville, SC – Heavy rainfall will continue to drench South Carolina’s Upstate through Tuesday, bringing a heightened risk of flash flooding and ponding on roads. According to the National Weather Service, Greenville and Spartanburg are among the hardest-hit areas, expecting between 3-4 inches of rain by the end of Tuesday.
The storm is expected to create hazardous travel conditions, with the possibility of swift-moving water flooding low-lying roads and streets. The National Weather Service’s Excessive Rainfall Outlook for Monday shows the region remains under a “slight” risk of rapid flooding due to the volume of water expected. Widespread localized flooding could lead to temporary road closures, making travel particularly dangerous for commuters.
In addition to the heavy rain, the storm’s impact will be felt across a broad swath of the Upstate. Areas near Gaffney, Forest City, and Tryon could experience 4-6 inches, creating conditions that may overwhelm storm drains and lead to nuisance or minor flooding. Motorists are advised to stay off the roads during peak rainfall times and use extreme caution if they must travel.
This weather system is expected to clear by Tuesday evening, but the risk of additional flooding or advisories remains possible depending on how much rainfall accumulates in the coming hours. Make sure to monitor updates for the latest on storm totals and flood watches.
