Spartanburg, SC — Warm, sunny weather returns to Spartanburg on Tuesday, but it brings a rising fire danger that could last through Saturday. As springlike temperatures settle into the Upstate, local and regional authorities are urging residents to take precautions due to drier conditions and low humidity levels.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, the combination of breezy winds and dry vegetation will raise the potential for wildfires, particularly in wooded and grassy areas. A Hazardous Weather Outlook remains in effect for Spartanburg County and surrounding regions, including the I-85 corridor, through the end of the week.
Tuesday’s forecast calls for clear skies with a high near 75°F and wind gusts up to 21 mph. While the sunny spring pattern offers ideal outdoor conditions, officials urge residents to avoid open burning and dispose of cigarettes responsibly. No rain is expected through Saturday, increasing the risk of fast-spreading brush fires.
🔥 What to Do:
- Postpone outdoor burning until next week.
- Report any signs of smoke or fire immediately.
- Monitor local fire updates via county emergency channels.
Five-Day Forecast:
- Tuesday: Sunny, high 75°F, breezy
