It looks like Saturday although it is mainly dry throughout the afternoon. This is good news. Clouds move in and out over that cold front as it heads south. As we head into Mother’s Day Sunday, if you’re going to an early service or brunch at church, the morning hours will be dry. Then we reach peak heating hour during the day at around 4:00, two from 2 to 4:00. We are starting to see a boundary developing, and this boundary could bring a few showers or thunderstorms. It is very isolated. It’s only a 30% chance of rain. We then leave for the rest of Sunday until a cold front moves in. Coming from west to east. This will provide us with our next chance for some rain over the next couple of days. Then by Monday, we start to see those temperatures in the 70s and back into the low 70s on Tuesday.

Those northbound lanes are starting to pick up a little bit of those maps, and you’re definitely seeing that reflected between Spartanburg and Greenville. This is typical. This is the typical traffic in the Pelham parking lot and it is right there that it earns its name. But hey, let’s talk about downtown Greenville. Look at all that color. Normally, we are used to green color today. We get all types of closures. This is the Church Street Bridge closure. This one. We’re already looking forward to the artists coming to downtown Greenville today. All during Sunday, South Main Street and Broad Street. I want you to lock them both up. It will take a little longer to get around downtown this weekend. This is just a matter of fact. So give yourself time when you’re walking out the door, maybe an extra 15 10 minutes just to make sure you get where you want to go when you need to be there 28 or 26, sorry. 385 Looking Good in Green, 85.
