GREENVILLE–SPARTANBURG, SC – Across the foothills and farms of Upstate South Carolina, car rooftops shimmer with frost and fields sparkle under the first pale light of November. The coldest air of the young season settled in before dawn, with temperatures dropping into the mid-30s — cold enough to coat lawns and gardens with a thin white glaze.
The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg issued a Frost Advisory until 9 a.m., warning residents across the Upstate and western North Carolina foothills to protect sensitive plants. Gardeners and growers are urged to cover exposed vegetation or move potted plants indoors to prevent damage from the early chill.
Skies remain clear today, and calm winds will help temperatures rebound quickly by afternoon. Highs will reach the lower 60s across the region — a classic fall day for outdoor chores or early holiday decorating. Clouds return late Sunday as a weak system moves in from the west, bringing a 30 percent chance of light rain Sunday night, mainly after 10 p.m. Roads along I-85 and I-26 could become damp but no heavy rain or severe weather is expected.
By Monday, sunshine returns with highs near 65°F, marking the start of a warming trend that stretches through midweek. Clear skies and mild afternoons continue Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the upper 60s to near 70°F.
After this morning’s frost, the pattern signals the season’s steady shift — bright days, crisp mornings, and the quiet start of November’s rollercoaster between warmth and chill.
