Spartanburg residents should prepare for a soggy start to the week, as periods of showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to linger through Wednesday, bringing a risk of localized downpours and patchy fog, especially during the morning and overnight hours. Temperatures will trend slightly below average for early August, offering a brief break from typical summer heat but heightening the potential for slippery commutes and reduced visibility.

Tuesday looks especially wet, with a 70% chance of steady rain and occasional storms from the early morning through the evening. The unsettled pattern continues into Wednesday, keeping conditions damp and clouds stubborn. A few breaks in the rain are possible late in the week, but another round of thunderstorms could arrive by Thursday afternoon.
