Greenville Gears Up for a Rainy October
As October rolls in, the charming city of Greenville is bracing for a stormy start, courtesy of Hurricane Helene. Early this morning, residents woke to the sound of showers and thundershowers that are predicted to turn heavy as the day goes on. Weather experts are warning us to prepare for up to 5 inches of rainfall and gusty winds reaching 25 to 35 mph by tomorrow morning. With a 100% chance of rain, it’s time to grab those umbrellas!
What to Expect Today
The morning began with thunderstorms, creating quite the ruckus, but as we move into the afternoon, it will become overcast, making the perfect ambiance for cuddling up with a good book or binge-watching your favorite shows. However, don’t get too cozy as the possibility of heavy rainfall remains on the cards, and flooding could become a significant concern.
In terms of temperatures, we’re looking at a high of about 71°F. So, while it might feel a bit dreary, it’s still a rather pleasant day to enjoy from inside. And let’s not forget the strong winds; they’re bound to create a beautiful, albeit chaotic, landscape outside with leaves swirling and raindrops dancing on rooftops.
