Greenville, SC – Afternoon storms could bring a noisy end to the weekend across the Upstate as a cold front pushes into the Carolinas and northeast Georgia Sunday evening, setting the stage for a cooler, fall-like start to the week.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of the front this afternoon and evening, with the greatest risk for downpours, lightning, and gusty winds focused on the mountains and foothills of western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and northeast Georgia. Some areas, including Asheville, Anderson, and Gainesville, face a 60% or higher chance of storms through late tonight.
Travelers should watch for wet roads and low visibility, especially along I-26 and I-85 corridors. Localized ponding or minor flooding in poor drainage spots can’t be ruled out. Power flickers are possible during stronger storms, so residents are advised to charge devices and limit outdoor plans…
