Strong storms are possible in South Carolina overnight into Sunday afternoon

Updated: December 28, 2024, 11:45 p.m. EST

So let’s talk about the threat of storms already underway toward Mississippi and Alabama. A large line of storms stretches from New Orleans to Nashville. NOW THAT IT’S LATER INTO THE EVENING, THE LINE ITSELF IS STARTING TO LOSE A LITTLE BIT OF POINT. AND THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN IT’S LATE IN THE EVENING AND THE HEATING LOSES DURING THE DAY. The storms are easing a bit, but it’s still obviously intense. HERE YOU HAVE ALL THESE YELLOW POLYGONS. These are severe thunderstorm warnings for the western half of Alabama. ALSO A FEW INDIVIDUAL TORNADO WARNINGS. Along the northern edge of the line there and down toward the Bootheel region of Mississippi. The weather here was really crazy today. Check out all of these storm reports. SOUTH OF HOUSTON THEY HAVE NUMEROUS TORNADO REPORTS. THEN THEY HAVE A LOT OF THEM HERE IN SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI, ALL OF THESE LITTLE WIND ICONS. These are fallen trees or power lines. We also had flooding towards southeast Mississippi. It was a really crazy day in this part of the country. The main reason I’m showing you this is just to show you that this storm system is powerful and is moving through this part of the Deep South. AND AS THIS LINE OF STORMS MOVES TO THE EAST TOMORROW BREAKFAST IT WILL NEED TO MOVE INTO THE UPSTATE. And luckily it should be a little weaker by then. BUT STILL THE WINDS WILL BE VERY STRONG. MORE THAN LIKELY WE WILL RECEIVE SHORT STRAIGHT WINDS IN THE RANGE OF 50 TO 55 MPH. I think that’s the main concern. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of an isolated spin-up tornado developing. But at least in the short term, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s only around 6 a.m., when the worst of the weather sets in, that you need to be on your guard, so to speak. But at least for now it will remain foggy and only rainy. LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR. We’re taking all of these showers that are all over the northern part of the Upstate and moving over the slope up into western North Carolina. HERE IS THE HOURLY TIMEFRAME FOR IT. WHAT WE’RE SEEING NOW SHOULD LAST FOR ABOUT 4 TO 5 HOURS, WITH OCCASIONAL RAIN, PARTICULARLY IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. Then it’s already 6 a.m. Then business starts to pick up a bit. Then we get stronger rain winds from the south. Temperatures will change if you stand outside briefly tomorrow morning. It will feel kind of stuffy. To the south, temperatures will be in the low 60s with southerly winds pulling in lots of moisture. For most of us, the worst storm is likely to come. ABOUT 8:00 TO 9:00 AM IN THE MORNING THROUGH PLACES LIKE GREENVILLE, ANDERSON, ABBEVILLE AND AGAIN WITHIN THAT LINE RIGHT THERE ON THE LEADING EDGE YOU MAY GET SOME SHORT SPIN-UP TORNADOES, BUT ALSO, IT’S A NOT LIKELY SCENARIO. IT IS JUST POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT. At 10:00 a.m. it starts moving toward the eastern edge of our area, toward CHEROKEE COUNTY and UNION COUNTIES, and then I think we should be mostly in the clear by then. You can’t completely rule out more. Around noon there was a second round of attacks towards the counties of ABBEVILLE and GREENVILLE. But after that we should be in clear weather weather wise, I think we’ll get a brief bit of sun around 1-2pm tomorrow afternoon. Once we see all of this clearly, rainfall amounts in the region will be a little high enough to most likely cause some localized flooding towards Transylvania and Henderson Counties. Please be careful if you have to drive anywhere in the early hours tomorrow. AVOID IF YOU CAN, BUT IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, PLEASE BE CAREFUL TO STAND ON THE ROADS AS THE RISK OF SOME FLOODING AND DAMAGING WINDS IS MEDIUM. Again, a low threat of tornadoes and fortunately no real threat of large hail with this particular setup. Furthermore, the four days look like this. Monday is actually going to be a pretty nice day, even if the front pushes through it won’t really do much to cool temperatures. WE WILL BE PRETTY MILD WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S. Another round of wet weather begins on Tuesday with patchy showers on New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, I know we’ll be getting colder on New Year’s Day and the low temperatures will drop below freezing again. TO BE REACHED BY THURSDAY MORNING AND TO STAY BELOW FREEZING ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, MY DRY 2, THE CHANCE FOR SOME SNOWWINGS WILL ALSO KEEP IN THE MOUNTAINS ON NEW YEAR’S DAY, NOT NECESSARILY IN THE UPSTATE AND THEN BEYOND. Looks pretty cold too. Lowest values ​​in the 2nd
