South Carolina – A thin frost blankets lawns and windshields across Upstate South Carolina this morning, with temperatures sitting right around 32°F before sunrise. The air is calm and crisp — a gentle reminder that December has arrived, even as sunshine promises a comfortable rebound by late morning.
Skies remain mostly clear through the rest of the week, with afternoon highs near 53°F today and upper 40s to mid-50s through Friday. A southwest breeze up to 17 mph adds a bit of chill early, but overall, it’s a stretch of calm, pleasant winter weather perfect for outdoor plans or early holiday decorating.
By Friday, sunshine stays strong and temperatures climb into the mid-50s, marking the start of a mild December weekend. Saturday and Sunday both look bright and tranquil, with highs in the mid- to upper 50s, then a gradual cooldown arriving early next week as another blast of Arctic air spreads across the eastern U.S.
For now, no rain or snow is in sight — just crisp, clear skies and chilly dawns. Expect frost to return overnight, especially in sheltered valleys and along open fields near I-85 and the Pacolet River Basin.
Action tip: Let vehicles warm up briefly before the morning drive, and cover plants or hoses if temperatures dip below freezing again tonight.
