Spartanburg, SC – A heightened fire danger is in effect for South Carolina through Saturday evening as gusty winds and low humidity create hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service warns that fires could spread quickly, urging residents to use extreme caution with any outdoor burning.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, winds will ease slightly Friday but return Saturday with gusts reaching 25 to 30 mph. The combination of dry air and increased wind speed raises the likelihood of wildfires, particularly in the afternoon hours. Officials advise residents to check local burn restrictions and avoid outdoor fires when possible.
The weekend forecast for Spartanburg and surrounding areas includes mostly sunny conditions with daytime highs near 71°F on Saturday and 53°F on Sunday. Nighttime lows will dip to 28°F Sunday night, bringing colder conditions into early next week.
Monday will be partly sunny, with temperatures reaching 54°F before dropping to the mid-30s at night. By Tuesday, a chance of showers moves in, with rain likely midweek, which may help alleviate dry conditions.
