SPARTANBURG, SC – Morning light broke over the Upstate under crisp, clear skies Saturday — a calm pause before clouds and rain return early in the new week. The dry, comfortable weekend will quickly turn gray as a system approaches from the Gulf, spreading showers into the region by late Sunday night and Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, today will stay mostly sunny with highs near 65°F. Light northeast breezes will hold humidity low, keeping the afternoon pleasant for outdoor chores and fall events. By Sunday, clouds increase as winds shift slightly east, signaling moisture on the move.
Rain chances rise sharply Sunday night, with the first drops likely after sunset across northern Greenville and Spartanburg Counties. Monday looks damp from the morning commute onward, with a 60% chance of showers and highs only near 52°F. The heaviest rainfall may occur along the I-85 corridor, where puddling could slow traffic and reduce visibility through midday.
Residents should prepare for wet roads and cooler air to start the week. Keep rain gear handy, check wiper blades, and plan for slower travel on secondary roads. Models hint at another round of scattered showers by midweek, keeping soils damp and skies gray through Wednesday.
For now, enjoy the final stretch of dry fall air — because this Monday’s rain may mark the first step toward a cooler, wetter pattern leading into Halloween week.
A chilly November lies ahead, and this early-week rain could be its opening note.
