Greenville, SC – Residents across Greenville and surrounding areas are facing another round of freezing temperatures as a cold air mass settles over the Upstate Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg, overnight lows are expected to fall into the mid-20s across much of the city, with the coldest temperatures occurring between midnight and 8 a.m. Sunday. Forecasters say this could be one of the coldest nights the region sees until next winter.
The cold snap follows a chilly start to Saturday and comes with potential impacts for early-morning travelers, especially on bridges and elevated roadways where black ice can form. Drivers heading out late Saturday night or early Sunday are urged to use caution and allow extra time.
Weather officials note that while temperatures will remain below freezing for several hours overnight, a warming trend is expected to begin early next week. After Monday night into Tuesday morning, most locations in the Upstate are not expected to drop below 32 degrees again until at least late next week.
Saturday’s daytime highs are forecast to remain cool, but sunshine should help moderate conditions before temperatures fall rapidly again after sunset. Residents are advised to protect pets, plants, and exposed pipes from freezing conditions overnight.
Sunday afternoon is expected to be milder, with temperatures rebounding into more seasonable levels. The National Weather Service says no winter precipitation is expected with this system, but lingering cold early Sunday could still create localized travel issues.
Forecast updates will continue to be monitored as conditions develop overnight.
