Severe weather possible Tue and Tue night

Created by the NWS Greenville-Spartanburg WFO

Strong to severe storms could develop over the area Tuesday afternoon and evening, July 28, 2026, which could lead to swaths of wind damage or hail of quarter to golf ball size. This is not a "slam dunk" and the forecast still could change. Stay weather aware early this week and ensure you have multiple ways to receive warnings.

Maps depict wind and hail probabilities from the NWS Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlook, valid for Tuesday, July 28, 2026, in NC/SC/GA. Damaging wind and hail are most likely in western NC, but Upstate SC and northeast GA are also at some risk of both. Image contains this text: "Ahead of an approaching cold front, strong to severe thunderstorms may form Tuesday afternoon through late evening. Swaths of damaging wind are a primary concern, but some storms also could be capable of large hail up to the size of a golf ball. A tricky aspect of this scenario is that cool air or cloud cover could spread over our area from storms to our north early Tuesday morning, stabilizing the atmosphere and inhibiting the development of storms in our area later in the day. The forecast still could change."
