South Carolina weather is shifting quickly across Spartanburg, where warm air and clearing skies are giving way to a developing storm pattern that could impact travel by late Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service, today trends drier with highs near 81°F as clouds gradually clear. Winds remain light, allowing for a calm stretch before moisture begins to build again into the weekend.

Sunday brings the highest impact. Rain chances surge to 80%, with showers and thunderstorms developing by midday and continuing through the afternoon. Expect steady rainfall at times, reduced visibility, and ponding on roadways, especially in low-lying areas around Spartanburg County.
By Sunday night, rain tapers but cooler air moves in. Temperatures fall into the upper 40s, and if surfaces remain damp, a few slick spots could develop early Monday.
Monday turns bright and calmer, with sunshine and highs near 68°F. Cooler mornings follow into Tuesday before a gradual warm-up returns midweek.
