Spartanburg, South Carolina – Cold air clings to the Upstate this morning, settling into valleys and parking lots as breath fogs the air. Thermometers hover in the upper 20s, and the calm makes the chill feel sharper at daybreak.
According to the National Weather Service office in Greenville-Spartanburg, temperatures start near 27 degrees early today before clouds increase through the afternoon. Highs reach the upper 40s, but shaded roads and bridges stay cold, raising the risk for slick spots where frost lingers.
Conditions begin changing quickly after sunset. Rain becomes likely this evening and continues into Wednesday morning. Patchy fog develops, reducing visibility during the commute. Wet pavement will be common across I-85, U.S. 29, and secondary roads through Spartanburg County.
Wednesday stays damp and gray. Periods of rain persist into the afternoon, with highs in the mid-40s. Travel slows at times as visibility drops in fog and mist. Allow extra braking distance and expect spray from passing vehicles.
By late Wednesday night into early Thursday, colder air filters back in behind the rain. A brief rain-to-snow mix is possible before moisture exits, especially north of Spartanburg. While accumulations appear minimal, even a light mix can create slick patches on untreated roads around sunrise Thursday.
Thursday turns brighter but cooler, with sunshine returning and highs in the low 40s. Clear skies Thursday night allow temperatures to dip into the mid-20s, raising the risk of refreezing on damp surfaces.
The payoff arrives by Friday and into the weekend. Sunshine dominates, and afternoon temperatures climb into the mid-50s. The broader 6–10 day outlook suggests above-normal warmth returning late next week, hinting at early signs of spring.
