SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Fall warmth takes center stage this weekend in the Upstate, with a quick round of showers possible by Sunday. The stretch of sunshine that’s brightened the week continues into Saturday before clouds build and a weak front sweeps through late Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg, Friday and Saturday will be classic mid-October days — bright, dry, and warm — with highs near 74°F today and pushing toward 80°F Saturday. Winds stay light and variable, perfect for fall markets, park events, or road trips along I-85 toward Greenville or Charlotte.
By Sunday, a southwesterly breeze develops, drawing in more moisture ahead of a fast-moving disturbance. That could spark scattered showers, mainly after midmorning, with brief downpours possible. Rain chances peak near 40%, though totals will remain light. Sunday’s high will reach the low 70s before cooler, drier air returns Sunday night.
The new week looks nearly flawless. Monday through Wednesday bring crisp mornings and clear, sunny afternoons in the low to mid-70s — ideal for leaf viewing, pumpkin patches, or outdoor sports. No frost or cold snap is expected, and humidity remains low.
Upstate residents can expect a textbook fall weekend: warm sunshine, a touch of Sunday rain, and plenty of bright weather ahead as October heads toward its final stretch.
