South Carolina – Rain beads on windshields and low clouds press down on the Upstate this morning, muting visibility and slowing traffic across Greenville and Spartanburg counties. Headlights glow through mist, and slick pavement raises the risk for sudden slowdowns during early travel.
According to the National Weather Service, rain continues through late morning with patchy fog reducing visibility at times. Temperatures hold in the upper 40s, keeping conditions chilly and damp. Fog may thicken briefly near sunrise, especially along I-85, I-26, and secondary roads where moisture lingers.
Rain tapers later today, but clouds hang on. Drivers should expect wet roads through midday, with the greatest impacts during the morning travel window. Allow extra distance between vehicles and watch for pooling water near low spots and on ramps.
Skies improve tonight as drier air moves in. Temperatures drop into the mid-30s, and areas that remain damp could feel colder by daybreak. While freezing conditions are not expected, bridges may feel slick early where moisture persists.
Sunday brings a noticeable turnaround. Sunshine returns by mid-morning, and highs rebound into the upper 50s. Visibility improves quickly, making for easier travel and outdoor plans across the Upstate.
The first full week of 2026 trends warmer and quieter. Monday turns partly sunny with highs in the mid-50s. Tuesday warms into the mid-60s under mostly sunny skies, and Wednesday pushes toward 70, well above early January averages.
Nationally, Winter storms hammer other regions, but the Upstate’s main concern centers on rain and fog rather than snow or ice. For now, timing travel around wet roads remains the key issue.
Slow down this morning, use low beams in fog, and plan for improving conditions later today. Seeing dense fog or slick roads near you? Share what travel looks like.
