Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Much of Wrn NC...NW SC and NE GA
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
245 PM EDT Sun May 17 2026

.DISCUSSION...
1. A summer-like pattern will continue through mid-week, with
above normal temperatures and spotty diurnal convection expected,
mainly today and on Wednesday. An isolated severe thunderstorm
will be possible this afternoon and evening.
2. A cold front brings better rain chances mid to late week
but rainfall amounts are expected to remain light so any drought
relief will be limited. Above normal highs linger through Thursday
before cold air damming develops behind the front, allowing for
the return of near to below normal highs Friday and Saturday.
