Greenville, SC – The air feels crisp across the Upstate this morning, with calm winds and mid-40s temperatures signaling fall’s firm arrival. Dew clings to car windshields and open fields, while clear skies stretch from the Blue Ridge foothills to Spartanburg. This quiet start won’t last long — cooler air is setting the stage for potential patchy frost by early Friday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, calm conditions overnight will allow temperatures to drop near 36°F in rural and low-lying valleys. A Light Frost Advisory could be issued later today if conditions trend a few degrees cooler. Gardeners and growers should plan to cover sensitive plants and check outdoor spigots as colder air pools across the region.
Friday afternoon brings plenty of sunshine, with highs near 62°F and a light breeze from the west. Saturday stays nearly identical — clear skies, comfortable highs, and cool nights ideal for outdoor events or early decorating before November’s colder air builds farther north.
By Sunday and Monday, temperatures will edge slightly warmer, climbing into the upper 60s with lows in the 40s. Looking ahead, early November appears seasonally mild, though long-range models hint at another cool push mid-month — possibly signaling the start of a more active winter pattern for the Carolinas.
For now, residents across Upstate South Carolina can expect a classic fall stretch: chilly mornings, bright afternoons, and a brief touch of frost that reminds everyone — winter isn’t far behind.
