Greenville, SC – A warming trend is underway across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia, with dry weather continuing through Tuesday before rain chances return midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville–Spartanburg, high pressure will remain in control through Tuesday, providing dry conditions and steadily warming temperatures. By Tuesday, temperatures are expected to be much warmer and well above normal for early February across much of the region.
Forecasters indicate that rain chances return on Wednesday as a cold front moves through the area. This system is expected to bring rain along with cooler temperatures, marking a transition away from the early-week warmth. No rainfall totals were specified in the update.
Behind the front, Thursday is expected to be even cooler, with dry high pressure building back into the region. This pattern will reinforce drier conditions while allowing temperatures to settle back closer to seasonal levels.
Communities across Upstate South Carolina, western North Carolina, and northeast Georgia will experience the most noticeable warming through Tuesday afternoon before the midweek change. The National Weather Service notes that this warmup will be short-lived as cooler air follows the Wednesday front.
Major travel corridors including I-85, I-26, I-40, US-29, and US-123 are expected to see favorable driving conditions through Tuesday. Wet roads may develop Wednesday as rain moves in, followed by cooler but dry conditions Thursday.
For commuters, students, and outdoor workers, the early-week warmth may feel more like spring before conditions shift back toward cooler weather. Residents planning midweek travel or outdoor activities should be aware of the changing pattern.
The National Weather Service encourages residents to monitor forecast updates as timing details for Wednesday’s rain and the late-week cooldown become clearer.
