Greenville, SC – The early morning air across the Upstate feels crisp and still — a signal that fall’s chill has taken firm hold. The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a Frost Advisory in effect from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday, warning that temperatures could dip as low as 35°F across much of northeast Georgia, the North Carolina Piedmont, and Upstate South Carolina.
Residents in low-lying or rural areas should take precautions to protect sensitive plants and outdoor vegetation, as frost formation is likely where winds calm and skies remain clear. Those heading out early Saturday should expect icy windshields and dew-covered lawns, a sure sign that November has arrived.
Friday remains bright and breezy with highs near 61°F and winds around 10 mph. As the sun sets, clear skies will allow temperatures to tumble quickly. Saturday brings another sunny, cool afternoon with highs near 62°F, perfect for fall festivals, football, or leaf cleanup.
By Sunday, conditions moderate, with highs near 61°F and lows staying above the freezing mark. The pattern turns milder early next week — highs reaching the mid-60s to near 70°F by Tuesday — offering a brief warm-up before cooler air likely returns mid-November.
With Daylight Saving Time ending at 2 a.m. Sunday, residents gain an extra hour of rest — but the chill arriving Saturday morning serves as a reminder that winter’s doorstep is getting closer across the Carolinas.
