SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The early light spills across the Blue Ridge foothills this morning, catching a trace of mist above the fields. A crisp November chill lingers at dawn, but by midday, that chill gives way to a mild, golden warmth stretching across the Upstate — a sure sign that fall’s gentlest weather has settled in.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, high pressure continues to dominate the region, bringing a run of sunny, dry days through the weekend. Highs climb from the low 60s Thursday to the mid-70s by Saturday and Sunday — unseasonably warm for mid-November. Winds remain light, with no rain expected through early next week.
The dry stretch offers perfect conditions for travel and outdoor work, from yard cleanup to early holiday decorating. However, the NWS notes that humidity will stay low during the afternoon hours, and burning restrictions remain in effect in some counties due to ongoing wildfire concerns in the southern Appalachians.
Morning lows will still dip into the 30s and 40s through Friday, giving that brief “winter tease” feel before each mild afternoon. By the weekend, the air warms enough to invite late fall hikes or patio plans, especially across Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson counties.
Looking ahead to next week, long-range models hint at a gradual cool-down just before Thanksgiving — possibly paired with a moisture return from the Gulf. For now, the Upstate enjoys one of the calmest, most comfortable stretches of November weather yet this season.
