Spartanburg, SC – Thunderstorms moving in Thursday afternoon could bring periods of heavy rain to the Upstate, with a risk of localized flash flooding in low-lying and poorly drained areas. The most active storm window is expected after 2 p.m., with gusty winds and brief downpours possible.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, the primary concern is in neighborhoods with saturated soils from recent rain, especially near creeks, underpasses, and low-lying intersections. Drivers should be alert for ponding on roads, and outdoor events may need to adjust or move indoors.
While Thursday is the week’s most unsettled day, scattered showers and storms are also possible into Thursday night before calmer, sunnier weather returns Friday. Daytime highs will remain seasonably warm, topping out near 87°F Thursday and climbing into the upper 80s by Friday.
This storm threat is brief, but any slow-moving cells could intensify rainfall rates quickly. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates and avoid driving through water-covered roads. More alerts are possible if rainfall totals exceed early projections.
