SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Early morning stars glimmer over the foothills this Monday as cool, dry air settles into the Upstate. After a crisp start in the 40s, sunshine will take over quickly, pushing temperatures toward a comfortable 70 degrees — a picture-perfect kickoff to a week that leans warmer with each passing day.
According to the National Weather Service in Greenville–Spartanburg, a stretch of calm, sunny weather will dominate the region through midweek. Winds remain light from the west today before shifting southwest Tuesday, helping to nudge highs into the upper 70s. By Wednesday and Thursday, readings may touch the low 80s, feeling more like late September than late October.
Residents should take advantage of the dry spell for outdoor work, fall planting, and leaf cleanup. Mornings will remain cool — dipping into the 40s through midweek — but the lack of humidity will keep afternoons pleasantly warm. Those driving along I-85 and I-26 can expect clear skies and great visibility for morning and evening commutes.
No rain is expected through at least Friday, though forecasters note that cooler air could return next weekend. Models hint at a more pronounced dip in temperatures early next week, possibly signaling the region’s first flirtation with frost in rural valleys north of Gaffney and Landrum. For now, though, this week promises ideal fall weather — bright, steady, and dry from sunrise to sunset.
