SUMMARY: The aftermath of Hurricane Helen is severely impacting South Carolina, particularly Greenville, where it caused tropical storm-strength winds that downed numerous oak trees and damaged power infrastructure. As a result, over 70% of Greenville County residents remain without power, contributing to more than 700,000 customers statewide affected. Duke Energy has indicated that power restoration could take until the end of the week for most, though not all, areas. The destruction from Hurricane Helen highlights the ongoing challenges for millions in the region as recovery efforts continue.

The Weather Channel Correspondent Justin Michaels reports from Greenville, South Carolina where he said that more than 70% of people in Greenville County are still without power. When Helene came through Greenville, it would have been a tropical storm bringing just shy of hurricane-force winds knocking down massive trees and the power infrastructure.

SUMMARY: As September ends and October begins, average rainfall typically drops below 4 inches, with high temperatures starting around the mid-80s and ending in the mid-70s. Locally, temperatures are expected to rise near 90 midweek due to a high-pressure system. While an upper low brings cloud cover and scattered showers, it will move away, allowing for more sunshine. In the tropics, active systems include Tropical Storm Kirk, which may develop into a major hurricane but poses no local threat. Overall, expect seasonable conditions with patchy fog, seasonal temperatures, and a pleasant upcoming weekend.
