South Carolina – Cold air settles into the Upstate early this morning, frosting windshields and stiffening grass across Spartanburg County. The air feels crisp and dry, a reminder that winter has arrived, even as sunshine promises quick improvement. Early errands may feel chilly, but conditions turn comfortable fast.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures start in the mid-30s before climbing into the mid-50s by afternoon. Skies stay clear, and winds remain light. Drivers should watch shaded spots early, especially on bridges and rural roads, where cold pavement lingers longest.
Sunday brings a noticeable warm-up. Highs reach the low 60s under full sun, making it one of the more pleasant days of the week. Sunday night cools back near freezing, with lows around 31, enough for patchy frost in low-lying areas. Gardeners and pet owners should take basic precautions.
Monday cools slightly, with highs near the low 50s and continued dry weather. Nights stay chilly but manageable, and no precipitation is expected. By Tuesday and Wednesday, the pattern flips warmer again. Highs push into the 60s, then upper 60s, with clear skies and excellent visibility.
Meteorologists note no signs of wintry precipitation, icy mix, or travel disruptions. While much of the country deals with snow and ice, the Upstate enjoys a quiet stretch. This warm-and-dry setup reduces concerns for flash freezing or slick roads, even during early mornings.
Looking ahead to Christmas travel, Spartanburg sits in a favorable window. Dry roads, mild afternoons, and calm winds support smooth driving on I-85 and Highway 29. Cold mornings still call for layers, but delays look unlikely. Traveling soon or staying local for the holidays? How did the chill feel when you stepped outside this morning?
