A wave of cooler air is settling over the western Carolinas this Sunday, leading to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly in the mountains and foothills.
Mild Temperatures and Storm Activity in the Mountains
Highs today will be below seasonal averages, offering a more comfortable day compared to recent warm afternoons. According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, most thunderstorms will remain confined to higher elevations in North Carolina and adjacent foothills in South Carolina.
Isolated Storms in Greenville and Spartanburg Areas
While no widespread severe weather is expected, brief downpours are likely in areas like Asheville, Hendersonville, Boone, Greenville, and Spartanburg. Drivers on major highways such as I-26 and I-85 should be aware of sudden changes in visibility due to passing showers.
Outdoor Plans May Be Briefly Disrupted by Storms
Although no major storms are forecast, outdoor activities in the mountains could be briefly interrupted by lightning and heavier rainfall. Residents are advised to take shelter indoors when thunder is heard and stay updated on radar for any pop-up storms.
Cooler Weather Pattern to Continue Into Early Next Week
This cooler weather trend is expected to persist through the beginning of next week, with chances for more scattered showers.
