SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wind-driven rain sweeps across the Upstate before dawn Tuesday, rattling windows and scattering early leaves along quiet neighborhoods near downtown Spartanburg. The soggy stretch that started overnight will linger through midweek, bringing one more push of steady rainfall before drier air returns just in time for Halloween.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, showers will continue through much of Tuesday, with gusts up to 25 mph at times. The heaviest rain will fall between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., creating slick spots on I-85, I-26, and area backroads. Drivers should slow down during heavier bursts and give extra space to high-profile vehicles, which could sway in gusty crosswinds.
By Wednesday, clouds hang on but the rain should begin to ease. A final round of showers is possible late Wednesday night as one last front passes east, followed by cooler, clearing skies Thursday.
Sunshine returns Friday with highs near 61°F — perfect timing for outdoor Halloween events across Spartanburg, Gaffney, and Greer. Trick-or-treaters can expect clear skies, calm winds, and evening temperatures falling through the 50s — ideal for light layers and longer strolls through neighborhood streets.
The weekend looks seasonably mild and pleasant, with highs in the lower 60s and crisp mornings near 40°F. It’s a welcome break after several damp days and a good window for outdoor cleanup or early fall decorating.
After all, the Upstate’s first true taste of November chill isn’t far behind.
