Spartanburg, SC – Heavy rain and thunderstorms are set to move through the Upstate on Wednesday, with the greatest threat for flooding focused on the North Carolina Foothills. The National Weather Service warns that already saturated ground could increase the risk of standing water on roads, especially in poor drainage areas.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, rain totals of 1–3 inches are possible, with the higher amounts expected across mountain-adjacent counties. Showers and storms could develop by late morning Wednesday, with gusty winds and lightning adding to hazards for drivers and outdoor workers.
Residents in Spartanburg and nearby areas should allow extra travel time, avoid low-lying roadways, and keep storm drains clear. Those in the NC Foothills should be especially alert for fast water rises in small creeks and streams.
The unsettled weather pattern will ease after Wednesday night, with drier, partly sunny skies expected Thursday and Friday before a smaller chance of weekend showers.
