Spartanburg, S.C. – Drivers across Upstate South Carolina should stay alert today as scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms move in by late afternoon. Although rainfall totals remain light, even brief storms could make travel on I-85 slick, especially during peak evening hours.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg office, rain chances stay near 20% until tonight before clearing skies return on Sunday. Calm winds and mild overnight lows near 63°F will set the stage for drier, sunnier days.
By Monday, fall weather briefly turns summerlike with highs reaching 85°F under mostly sunny skies. Tuesday climbs warmer to 87°F with bright sunshine before clouds edge back into the region Wednesday night. Residents can expect steady daytime warmth and calm winds, though another rain system approaches by Thursday.
City services and emergency officials urge residents to take advantage of the dry stretch to prepare for potential midweek storms. Keep mobile devices charged, clear gutters of debris, and avoid unnecessary travel when rain develops again later this week.
The best chance for widespread rainfall arrives Thursday into Friday, with showers and thunderstorms likely at 60% coverage. Until then, Spartanburg remains mostly dry and comfortably warm, keeping roads clear and outdoor events on schedule.
Warnings for heavier rainfall could be issued by midweek, so residents should check updates frequently and plan ahead.
