South Carolina starts the day under a hard, silent chill. Frost coats rooftops in Spartanburg, and the air bites exposed skin before sunrise.
Temperatures hover in the upper 20s early this morning across Spartanburg County, marking one of the colder February starts this season. Calm winds allow frost to spread easily, especially on bridges, shaded roads, and elevated surfaces. Drivers heading out early should stay alert for slick spots, even where pavement looks dry.
Sunshine quickly takes over after sunrise. Temperatures rebound sharply through the late morning and afternoon, climbing into the mid-50s. It will feel like a completely different day by lunchtime. For now, layers matter early, but lighter jackets work by afternoon.
The clear pattern continues into Saturday. A cool morning gives way to sunshine and highs in the mid-40s, with a light breeze adding a crisp edge. Saturday night turns cold again, dipping into the low 20s, which may threaten sensitive plants and exposed pipes.
Sunday brings a noticeable shift. Sunshine dominates, highs rise toward 50 degrees, and the cold loosens its grip. By Monday, Spartanburg enters a clear warming trend. Afternoon temperatures push into the upper 50s, and the air feels more like early spring than mid-February.
Meteorologists note this warming stretches into midweek. Highs reach the 60s by Tuesday and Wednesday, with only a small rain chance later in the week. No winter weather signals appear immediately after the weekend.
Plan smart today. Watch for frost early, then enjoy the mild afternoon. The bigger story is the trend. Winter fades, and warmer air steadily builds.
Are you seeing frost where you live this morning?
