Meteorologists are forecasting a new round of widespread heavy showers and storms across the Upstate region and nearby mountains [1].
These weather patterns are significant as they bring necessary precipitation to the area, though the timing of the storms varies across different local forecasts [3].
According to the weather service WSPA, the next round of widespread heavy showers and storms will be present throughout Sunday night [1]. In the Upstate region, low temperatures are expected to remain in the mid-to-upper 60s Fahrenheit [1].
Other regional reports indicate a different timeline for the precipitation. The WATE weather team said it is a soggy start to Tuesday, noting that widespread rain and rumbles will continue through most of the morning [2]. High temperatures during this period are expected to reach the mid-70s Fahrenheit [2].
Discrepancies exist regarding when the rain will subside. While some reports suggest rain will break on Tuesday afternoon [2], other forecasts indicate a different trend. WBOC Chief Meteorologist Mike Lichniak updated his forecast on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at 4:10 a.m. [3].
Lichniak said that widespread showers and some storms remain possible through Wednesday evening [3]. These patterns suggest a volatile weather window affecting both the Upstate region and broader areas including North Bay and Florida [1, 3, 4].
The varying reports from local stations emphasize the localized nature of these storm cells, creating a patchwork of timing for residents across the affected zones [2, 3].
“Our next round of widespread heavy showers and storms will be with us throughout Sunday night.”
The conflicting timelines between regional weather services highlight the unpredictability of current storm tracks. While the presence of moisture is beneficial for the environment, the shift from Sunday night arrivals to Wednesday evening possibilities suggests a slow-moving or recurring weather system that could lead to localized flooding in the Upstate and mountain regions.
