Weather watch

Treat the numbers as the story for Greenville: temperature band and rain risk, then decide if the trip is on.

Greenville, South Carolina

Weekend air in Greenville sits near 86°F / 70°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.23 in) — enough to decide whether the trip is on.

With highs near 86°F, Greenville works as a food-and-wander weekend — patio time, a long lunch, then whatever the evening weather allows.

If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 86°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
