Spartanburg, SC – Heavy clouds and scattered thunderstorms will dominate the weekend in Spartanburg, raising concerns about local flooding and challenging travel for residents through early Monday. Showers are set to roll through the region repeatedly, with Saturday and Sunday both bringing the chance for rumbles of thunder, slick roads, and brief heavy downpours.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s rain may begin before 8 a.m., with a second round of storms expected between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. Northeast winds around 8 mph will push additional moisture into the area, and precipitation chances remain near 50 percent through the day and into the night. Sunday offers little relief as more thunderstorms move in after 11 a.m., again fueled by persistent northeast winds and a humid air mass.
Motorists on I-85, US-29, and local routes should plan for slower travel and the potential for ponding water—especially in low-lying areas. Emergency officials recommend avoiding flooded roadways and making alternate plans for outdoor activities.
Showers could linger through Monday before a gradual drying trend midweek. Stay alert for updated advisories, as further watches or warnings may be issued if rainfall intensifies.
