Spartanburg, SC – Heavy rain and dense fog are turning roads slick across Spartanburg early Monday, with upstate South Carolina bracing for continued downpours and localized flash flooding through Tuesday morning. Drivers should expect challenging visibility and minor flooding on streets, especially near creeks and low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread moderate to occasionally heavy rain will persist through midday before tapering off to scattered showers this afternoon. Forecasters warn that locally excessive rainfall could trigger isolated flash flooding, particularly along smaller streams and in urban zones around Spartanburg, as well as throughout the foothills and the southern mountains of North Carolina.
Conditions will remain unsettled tonight with patchy fog and another round of rain possible before midnight. Tuesday brings a 50 percent chance of showers early, gradually shifting to drier skies by late afternoon, but any additional rain could quickly overwhelm saturated ground.
By midweek, spotty showers and thunderstorms linger, though the flood threat decreases as storms become more scattered. Drier, partly sunny weather returns Thursday, but chances for afternoon storms redevelop by Friday and Saturday.
Residents should avoid flooded roadways, monitor local alerts, and give themselves extra travel time during the morning commute. Flood advisories and further updates may be issued if rainfall rates increase or water rises unexpectedly.
