Greenville, SC – South Carolina residents, particularly those along the I-77 corridor, should prepare for severe weather as thunderstorms are expected to become more widespread this afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a warning for scattered thunderstorms, with some potentially severe storms likely to develop.
According to the NWS, these storms will primarily impact areas east of I-77, including the Upstate and western Piedmont regions of North Carolina. Damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall are the main concerns, with the potential for localized flash flooding in low-lying areas. The Piedmont of the Carolinas, including cities like Charlotte and Hickory, is particularly at risk for excessive rainfall.
Temperatures will be slightly cooler today compared to recent days, but the high humidity will continue to make conditions feel oppressive. Residents are advised to stay weather-aware and monitor local updates, as conditions can rapidly change. The NWS emphasizes the importance of being prepared for sudden storms, which could disrupt travel and outdoor activities throughout the day and into the evening.
