Heavy rains have led to flooding across much of the Upstate. The flood threat remains high for Sunday.  After 5-6 inches of rain fell across parts of the Upstate Saturday evening, creeks and rivers remain high.

Forecasts say more rain is possible through the day on Sunday.

If you live near a body of water remain aware of your surroundings, and if you don’t have to be out on the roads stay at home through until daylight.

Greer, Taylors and Downtown Greenville were hit hardest Saturday evening. Rain will be possible through Tuesday until our next front dries the air back out by Wednesday.

The heavy rain caused road closures around the Upstate and prompted the American Red Cross to open 2 shelters as a precaution.  The Red Cross later closed both shelters due to the lack of demand.  Volunteers said only one individual showed up for assistance.
