Spartanburg, SC – A potential winter storm could bring snow and icy conditions to Upstate South Carolina this week, followed by a blast of Arctic air. Residents should prepare for hazardous travel conditions, especially along I-85, as temperatures plummet.
According to the National Weather Service, a mix of rain and snow is expected late Tuesday night into Wednesday, with a 90% chance of precipitation. Snow accumulation remains uncertain, but even light ice could create slick roads.

Thursday and Friday will be mostly sunny, but daytime highs will struggle to reach 40°F. Overnight lows will plummet into the teens, making for dangerously cold conditions.
