Western Carolinas Forecast: Rain Midweek, Cooler Temps by Late Week
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Residents across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia should prepare for a shift in weather this week, with increased storm chances midweek followed by cooler air settling in by Friday.
Rain Chances Build Midweek
The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg reports that isolated afternoon showers and storms will continue through Tuesday. By Wednesday and Thursday, a frontal system will move into the region, bringing a higher likelihood of widespread rainfall and thunderstorms.
Motorists are advised to watch for slick roads during commutes, particularly Wednesday evening into Thursday night.
