We’re starting off with some gorgeous sunny weather on Wednesday, April 30th. It’s shaping up to be a day filled with warmth, perfect for those afternoon strolls or maybe even a picnic at your favorite park!
Midweek Sunshine and Warmth

Thursday’s Temperature Surge
As we roll into Thursday, May 1st, temperatures are predicted to soar into the mid- to upper 80s. With partly cloudy skies, it’s a great day to be outside. Just can’t resist the warmth! But keep an eye on the horizon, as isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms may pop up over the area. So, if a thunderstorm does decide to invade your picnic plans, just grab your umbrella and move to a nice, cozy spot.
Friday’s Hit-or-Miss Showers
Friday could hold a little bit of everything! While we’re in for some more warm weather, expect hit-or-miss showers and storms throughout the day. Temperatures will still be comfortably in the 80s with partly sunny skies peeking through. However, as a cold front makes its way toward Rock Hill, the chances of widespread showers and storms will begin to increase, making Friday a day to keep the weather app handy.
Severe Weather on Saturday?
Now, hold onto your hats because Saturday is gearing up to be quite the weather event. Showers are expected to pick up thanks to that approaching cold front, and some of those storms could pack quite a punch, with damaging winds and even hail on the table. It might feel a little bit cooler too, with high temperatures hovering only in the upper 70s. Don’t let those clouds bring you down; just stay alert and informed about any severe weather updates!
A Calm Sunday Ahead
After the stormy Saturday, Sunday is expected to bring some relief with a quiet and dry day. Highs will drop down to the lower 70s, making it a wonderful day to relax and recharge.
What to Expect Next Week
As we look further ahead, the weather seems to take a cooler turn. With highs in the lower 60s and nighttime temperatures dipping towards 40 degrees, it’s a stark contrast to the warm days we’ve been experiencing. You might even want to dust off those jackets for the plunge in temperatures!
Weather Alerts and Announcements
Heads up! A winter storm watch has even been issued for Rock Hill, with the possibility of snow, sleet, and ice on Friday. Several local school districts are adjusting schedules, moving to eLearning days because of the forecasted inclement weather. So keep an eye out for changes in school timings, and don’t be surprised if you hear about closures across towns like Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Clover, and Lancaster.
In summary, Rock Hill’s weather is all set to take you on quite the rollercoaster this week! Stay warm, stay dry, and keep that umbrella close—you never know when you might need it!
