Spartanburg, SC – The gray skies across the Upstate this morning tell the story — December is arriving with a soggy start. After a calm Sunday, a new system builds in Monday evening, bringing steady rain and the potential for heavy downpours into Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, light showers will develop late Monday before turning widespread early Tuesday, when rainfall could reach a half-inch to one inch in spots. The rain should taper by midday Tuesday, but wet roads and reduced visibility could slow morning travel, especially along I-85, I-26, and Highway 29.
Temperatures will hover in the 40s to low 50s, keeping the air damp but not cold enough for wintry precipitation. Still, with lingering moisture and cooling air late Tuesday, patchy fog and slick roads are possible into the evening.
Wednesday brings welcome sunshine and highs near 50°F, before another round of light rain may return Friday — part of a larger early-December pattern shift favoring unsettled, cool weather across the Southeast.
Five-Day Outlook:
- Monday: Increasing clouds, high 47°F.
- Monday Night: Rain likely, low 36°F.
- Tuesday: Rain, high 52°F.
- Wednesday: Sunny, high 49°F.
- Thursday: Partly sunny, high 55°F.
