Greenville, S.C. – Upstate South Carolina will see hotter-than-average conditions Sunday as sunshine drives afternoon highs into the low and mid-90s. Most of the region will remain dry, with only a slight chance of isolated showers or thunderstorms developing over the mountains and foothills.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, temperatures will push well above seasonal norms, especially across the I-85 corridor from Anderson through Spartanburg. Rain chances remain minimal, with coverage generally below 20 percent outside of higher elevations.
Travelers in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson should expect hot pavement and possible heat-related slowdowns in construction zones during the afternoon. Communities near Asheville and the Blue Ridge foothills could see a brief thunderstorm, though widespread impacts are not expected.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activity during peak heat in the mid-afternoon. Power demand may also rise as air conditioners run harder to keep up with the warm stretch.
The heat is expected to hold into early this week, with temperatures staying above normal and only spotty storm chances until midweek.
