South Carolina – Low clouds cling to the foothills this morning as a steady, cold rain drenches Spartanburg and the Upstate. Pavement glistens under headlights, and fog clings to overpasses — a dreary but familiar start to December across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, periods of moderate rain continue through early afternoon before gradually tapering off. Rainfall totals between a quarter and half an inch are expected, with temperatures holding in the mid-30s. Calm winds and saturated air will make it feel damp and raw through midday.
Drivers should allow extra travel time on I-85, Highway 29, and local routes, where slick pavement and patchy fog could slow commutes. Elevated surfaces may stay wet well into evening as colder, drier air filters in.
Skies will clear late tonight, leading to sunny, crisp weather Wednesday with highs near 48°F and lows near 30°F. Thursday stays partly cloudy before a new front brings rain chances Friday into Saturday, possibly marking another cool, unsettled weekend.
This system marks the region’s first extended spell of early-winter chill, signaling that frost and freeze mornings are not far off as December deepens.
