South Carolina — The air feels crisp and still at daybreak, with frost clinging to rooftops and parked cars across the Upstate. Breath hangs briefly in the calm air as temperatures hover in the mid-20s around Spartanburg early this morning.
No formal warning is in effect, but the cold carries real impact. Side streets, bridges, and shaded driveways may feel slick during the early commute, especially where moisture lingered from previous days. Drivers along I-85 and U.S. 29 should allow extra time until pavement warms.
Sunshine dominates today. Temperatures rebound steadily, reaching the upper 40s by afternoon. Winds stay light, helping conditions feel noticeably better by midday. Still, winter lingers after sunset. Tonight turns partly cloudy, with lows falling back into the upper 20s. Pets and sensitive plants should stay protected.
The pattern shifts fast as February loosens its grip. Monday brings bright sunshine and a high near 51 degrees. By Tuesday, a warm front surges north, pushing highs close to 68 degrees. That jump may feel dramatic after the chilly start, especially during the afternoon hours.
Midweek weather grows more unsettled. Clouds thicken Tuesday night, and Wednesday brings a 40 percent chance of rain, with highs in the mid-60s. Wet roads combined with cooler nights may create patchy slick spots after dark. Keep headlights on in rain and plan extra braking distance.
Thursday trends drier but cooler, with highs near the upper 50s. Rain chances increase again late week as another system approaches.
Looking toward the 6–10 day outlook, above-normal temperatures suggest a broader warming trend across the Southeast. While winter isn’t finished, signs of an early-season thaw are building.
