Greenville, SC – A developing system of strong to severe thunderstorms may bring damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, and large hail to parts of South Carolina and western North Carolina on Monday, March 31, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
According to the US National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, forecast confidence remains low, and the severity of storms will hinge on how morning thunderstorms evolve across Tennessee and Georgia. Should the environment remain undisturbed, a line of strong storms could sweep through the Carolinas—particularly east of the mountains.
The highest risk zone includes Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Rock Hill, and Charlotte. The potential window for storms is staggered, beginning around 11 a.m. in western areas like Greenville and Asheville, and shifting eastward toward Charlotte by 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Residents are urged to monitor weather updates throughout the day and prepare for rapidly changing conditions. Power outages and tree damage may occur. Secure outdoor objects and review shelter plans in case a tornado warning is issued.
Storm intensity remains uncertain, but any storms that form may become severe. The threat includes isolated tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and large hail. Stay weather-aware and have multiple alert methods ready.
