SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Upstate South Carolina will see a brief return of unsettled weather late Sunday before a sunny and mild stretch begins Monday. A quick-moving front will bring light rain and gusty winds to the I-85 corridor, according to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg.
Rain chances increase Sunday afternoon as south-southwest winds pick up, gusting up to 25 mph. Showers could briefly reduce visibility on local highways, including I-26 and I-85, during the evening hours. While no severe weather is expected, drivers should watch for slick spots and falling leaves on roadways. Skies will quickly clear after sunset, setting up a calm and bright start to the workweek.
By Monday, high pressure builds in, bringing sunshine and highs near 70°F with crisp morning lows in the mid-40s. The pleasant weather continues through midweek—perfect for outdoor chores, fall yardwork, or early Halloween decorating. Tuesday and Wednesday will feature clear skies and highs in the upper 60s, ideal for leaf viewing in nearby mountain foothills.
Late-week conditions remain dry and seasonably cool, with mild afternoons and chilly mornings hinting at early frost potential by next weekend. After Sunday’s quick rain, the Upstate settles into one of the best stretches of classic October weather—blue skies, low humidity, and golden sunlight.
