SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Fall perfection arrives across Upstate South Carolina as sunny skies, warm afternoons, and crisp mornings set the stage for a gorgeous weekend — at least until Sunday brings a quick change. After several days of calm, stable weather, clouds and light rain may sneak in by the end of the weekend.
The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg reports clear skies Thursday morning with highs near 75°F and light northeast breezes. Expect bright sunshine through Friday with temperatures hovering in the mid-70s — ideal for outdoor plans, football games, and scenic drives along Interstate 85 or up toward the Blue Ridge foothills for fall color viewing.
Saturday looks to be the pick of the week, with highs near 80°F and dry air keeping conditions comfortable. However, residents should plan for changing skies late Sunday. A weak front will bring a 30% chance of scattered showers by evening, especially north and east of Spartanburg. Rainfall totals will remain light, but slick roads may develop for late-day drivers.
By Monday, skies clear again and highs drop slightly into the low 70s, signaling a classic fall pattern returning next week. Tuesday and Wednesday remain mostly sunny, with daytime highs in the mid-70s and cool mornings near 50°F — perfect for yardwork, pumpkin patch visits, or early Halloween decorating.
Enjoy the warm stretch while it lasts, because cooler autumn air may follow by mid to late next week.
