Sun Feb 16 10:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Storms, High Winds, and Potential for Wintry Weather Hit Upstate South Carolina
**Greenville, SC** – Upstate South Carolina residents experienced a tumultuous Sunday, starting with a line of strong storms that swept through the Greenville area between 6-7 AM and exited by 9 AM. While the storms brought heavy downpours and thunder, areas south of I-85 faced the greatest risk of damaging wind gusts.
The morning storms gave way to clearing skies and temperatures reaching the upper 50s to mid-60s. However, strong winds, gusting 30-40 mph, followed in the afternoon and overnight, prompting a Wind Advisory for the entire region. The saturated ground increased the risk of power outages and downed trees.
A cold front brought with it the possibility of wintry weather. Snow showers were reported along the Tennessee-North Carolina border Sunday night, a precursor to a significant cold snap. Temperatures are expected to remain 15-20 degrees below normal for the next week, with highs in the 40s and 50s and lows in the 20s to low 30s.
Meteorologists are closely monitoring a weather system approaching mid-week, potentially bringing more precipitation Wednesday and Thursday. While current projections suggest a cold rain for the Upstate, with wintry precipitation confined to the mountains, the possibility of wintry weather in the Upstate remains and is subject to change as the system develops. Further updates will be provided in the coming days.
