Severe weather threat ends in Upstate South Carolina
Updated: 6:25 AM EDT Mar 16, 2025
IMPACTFUL WEEKEND ALL ACROSS THE SOUTH AND NOW INTO THE SOUTHEAST WITH A VERY LARGE AND POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN WORKING ACROSS OUR REGION THROUGHOUT THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS. NOW, THE GOOD NEWS WITH THIS IS WHERE WE ARE ON THE TAIL END, FURTHER SOUTH OF US THOUGH, TOWARDS MACON OR EAST OF MACON. MOVING RIGHT THROUGH AUGUSTA AND THE SOUTHERN PART OF OR FURTHER SOUTH OF OUR AREA IS WHERE WE’RE SEEING THE WORST OF THE IMPACTS. SO THAT’S THE GOOD NEWS HERE, DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WOODS, BUT I WOULD SAY AS OF RIGHT NOW, THINGS ARE CERTAINLY IMPROVING, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS. NOW TAKE A LOOK AT JUST SOME OF THE STORM REPORTS. NOW, I KNOW THERE’S A LOT GOING ON HERE. A LOT OF THESE ARE WIND REPORTS, ESPECIALLY IN OUR AREA IN PARTICULAR, BUT FURTHER WEST AND SOUTHWEST IS WHERE THEY DID HAVE QUITE A BIT OF TORNADIC ACTIVITY. SO THOSE WERE SPOTS THAT CERTAINLY ARE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF DAMAGE REPORTS. CERTAINLY KEEP THEM IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AS THIS IS STILL A VERY IMPACTFUL SYSTEM AND MANY ARE GOING TO BE PICKING UP THE PIECES AS IT WORKS FURTHER TOWARDS OUR EAST. NOW, FOR US HERE AT HOME, OUR MAIN IMPACTS THAT WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS REALLY IS JUST WIND. NOW, DON’T TAKE THAT LIGHTLY THOUGH. WIND GUSTS HAVE BEEN VERY HIGH. WE HAD A REPORT IN ASHEVILLE PUSHING 60 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS, SO THAT DID PROMPT A LOT OF POWER OUTAGES ACROSS WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA IN PARTICULAR. WINDS ARE STILL GOING TO BE A CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF TODAY. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, AS FAR AS THE STORM ACTIVITY GOES, I’VE BEEN KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THIS LINE OF STORMS THAT HAS MOVED RIGHT THROUGH PICKENS, THROUGH HENDERSONVILLE, AND INTO THE EASTERN PART OF ASHEVILLE RIGHT NOW. THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THIS IS STARTING TO WEAKEN. IT WAS LOOKING A LITTLE SQUIRRELY WITHIN THE LAST 30 MINUTES, BUT THINGS ARE IMPROVING. IT IS STILL GOING TO BRING WITH IT HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME STORMY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH IT. NOW EAST OF SPARTANBURG, PUSHING THROUGH GAFFNEY, UNION, LAURENS, GREENWOOD. THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT ARE STILL UNDER REALLY THE HEART OF THIS SYSTEM. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT’S WORKING EASTWARD. SO WE’RE FINALLY ON THE TAIL END AND WE WILL START TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS HERE VERY SOON. NOW, ONCE THINGS CLEAR OUT, WE’RE NOT COMPLETELY DONE WITH THE WINDS, THOUGH. WINDS ARE STILL GOING TO BE VERY HIGH. WE’RE LOOKING AT WIND GUSTS UPWARDS OF 25 TO 35MPH THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY, SO POWER OUTAGES WILL LIKELY STILL BE A CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE REST OF OUR SUNDAY. AND IT IS GOING TO REMAIN WINDY AREA WIDE. SO DO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE CONTINUE ON PAST THESE STORMS. NOW, LOOKING AT THE LATEST TIMING AGAIN, WE’RE ON THE TAIL END OF THINGS. SO THIS IS STARTING TO WORK ITS WAY EASTWARD. COULD STILL COULD SEE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THINGS WILL BE IMPROVING. SO BY LATE MORNING, YES, A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS POSSIBLE, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE STARTING TO CLEAR THINGS OUT AND YOU MIGHT EVEN SEE A BREAK OR TWO OF SUNSHINE DEVELOP TOWARDS THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. TODAY, AGAIN, WINDS ARE STILL GOING TO BE A CONCERN, BUT WE ARE FINALLY STARTING TO SEE IMPROVEMENTS. THAT WILL BE A WELCOME CHANGE FOR US. SO THE FOUR DAY LOOKS LIKE THIS. STILL TRACKING SOME LINGERING STORMS THROUGHOUT THIS MORNING, BUT GRADUALLY EXITING. AND THEN WE WILL START TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS BY THIS AFTERNOON. MAKING WAY TO A BEAUTIFUL SAINT PATRICK’S DAY MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT COOLER, ONLY TOPPING OUT IN THE LOWER 60S. AND THEN WE’RE WARMING BACK UP INTO THE 70S FROM TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, ONLY TRACKING A SMALL CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWE
