Spartanburg, SC – Thunderstorms are set to roll into the Upstate Tuesday, bringing a 70% chance of heavy rain and potential lightning from midday through late evening. Afternoon travel could be slowed by ponding on roads and reduced visibility, especially on I-85 and U.S. 29.
According to the National Weather Service, showers will likely develop by late morning, turning into widespread thunderstorms between noon and 2 p.m. Patchy fog could develop early in the day before clouds and storms dominate. Rainfall amounts could exceed a half inch in localized downpours. The heaviest storms may arrive during the late commute, with a continued chance of showers overnight.
Residents should secure outdoor items, allow extra time for travel, and avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding. Lightning will be a concern for outdoor work and school sports practices, so early cancellations or indoor alternatives are advised.
This active pattern will hold through midweek before conditions turn hotter and drier by Friday. More weather alerts may be issued if Tuesday’s storms intensify.
