SPARTANBURG, S.C. – A crisp, golden stretch of fall sunshine is on the way for Upstate South Carolina, offering near-perfect conditions for outdoor events, weekend football, and pumpkin patch visits through early next week. Temperatures will hold steady in the 70s by day and fall into the cool 40s and 50s at night — a classic mid-October pattern ideal for leaf viewing and local festivals across Spartanburg County.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, high pressure will dominate the region through Sunday, keeping skies clear and winds light. Motorists along I-85 and Highway 176 can expect smooth travel with no weather delays. Friday will bring highs near 72°F before a gradual warmup pushes afternoon readings back toward the upper 70s by the weekend.
Residents are encouraged to use this calm stretch for seasonal preparations — checking heating systems before cooler air returns later this month and protecting plants from the first potential frost, which could arrive next week if skies remain clear. Evening lows dipping into the upper 40s may feel chilly during early-morning commutes or outdoor sporting events.
Dry, sunny weather should persist through Monday, with only a slight chance of showers developing late Sunday. Leaf color is nearing its peak in the foothills, and forecasters expect continued mild, comfortable afternoons for fall activities.
