South Carolina – Cool air settled across the Upstate this morning, keeping jackets zipped as clouds slowly thinned over Spartanburg. The chill feels sharp early, but sunlight builds fast, signaling a dramatic December warm-up that carries straight into Christmas and beyond.
Latest data from the National Weather Service shows today turning brighter by late morning. Highs climb into the mid-60s, and winds stay light, making for calm travel conditions along I-85, I-26, and Highway 221. Pavement remains dry, and visibility stays clear for commuters and holiday drivers.
By Wednesday, temperatures surge into the low 70s under mostly sunny skies. To be fair, nights still cool down into the upper 40s and low 50s, but no frost or freeze concerns appear. The quick warm-up reduces any winter weather worries for the Upstate.
Christmas Day brings one of the warmest December days in recent memory. Sunshine dominates, and highs reach the low to mid-70s. Families traveling across Spartanburg County or heading toward Greenville and Charlotte should expect smooth conditions and minimal delays.
Thursday night and Friday introduce a few more clouds, though rain stays out of the picture. Highs near 70 Friday keep post-Christmas travel comfortable. Meteorologists note no cold snap, snow, or icy mix on the horizon, even as winter weather grips much of the Northeast.
Looking ahead, Saturday warms further into the mid-70s, reinforcing a springlike feel during the first week of winter. After all, this pattern favors dry roads and steady driving conditions for anyone returning home late in the holiday stretch.
Plan for cool mornings and warm afternoons. Dress in layers and enjoy the rare December warmth. Traveling Friday after Christmas? Share how conditions feel where you are.
