South Carolina — Flags snap hard along roadways, tree branches sway, and loose debris skitters across parking lots. Gusty winds are already shaping the feel of the morning across the Upstate, and conditions remain active through the day.
A Wind Advisory stays in effect for Spartanburg and much of Upstate South Carolina until 7 p.m. this evening. Northwest winds range from 10 to 20 mph, with gusts reaching up to 46 mph, especially across open areas and higher terrain. While skies remain sunny, the wind adds bite to the air and increases travel concerns.
Temperatures climb into the mid-40s today, but it feels cooler when gusts peak. High-profile vehicles may struggle on exposed stretches of I-85 and secondary roads. Tree limbs could fall, and scattered power interruptions remain possible. Drivers should keep both hands on the wheel and allow extra space around trucks.
Conditions improve quickly after sunset. Winds diminish tonight as skies stay mostly clear. Temperatures drop into the low 20s, setting up a cold but calmer night. Sunday turns quieter and brighter, with highs near 48 and light winds returning.
The pattern shifts noticeably early next week. Monday warms into the mid-50s under sunny skies. By Tuesday, temperatures surge toward the upper 60s, signaling a clear February thaw. Midweek clouds increase, and rain chances return by Wednesday, but temperatures stay mild.
Looking into the 6–10 day outlook, above-normal temperatures are favored across the Southeast. That warming trend points toward springlike afternoons after a brief brush with winter wind today.
For now, secure outdoor items, use caution while driving, and stay alert for falling debris through evening. Winds relax later, but how strong did the gusts feel where you live?
