Greenville, South Carolina – Widespread rain will soak the Upstate through Tuesday morning, bringing a renewed risk of localized flooding as storm totals climb toward 4 inches in some areas.

According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, a slow-moving low-pressure system is pushing in from the Gulf, delivering persistent showers today and heavier downpours tonight and Monday. The heaviest rainfall is expected across the western Carolinas, with localized totals between 2 and 4 inches. A Flood Watch may be issued for portions of the region, especially overnight Monday into early Tuesday.

Communities including Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Gaffney are likely to see saturated roads and potential ponding in low-lying areas. Drivers should avoid flooded roadways and monitor local alerts. If your area is prone to flooding, consider securing valuables and preparing for possible travel disruptions.

This system could impact school commutes and utility services if rainfall rates intensify. While not severe, the prolonged nature of this rain increases the risk of overwhelmed drainage systems.

Flood concerns will linger through early Tuesday, with updates expected as conditions evolve. Residents are urged to stay weather-aware and check in with local officials for any new advisories.
