Spartanburg, South Carolina – Residents across the Upstate are getting a brief taste of summer today as temperatures surge close to 90°F under clear skies. However, this warm and calm stretch won’t last long, with changing conditions expected within the next 24 hours.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday will remain sunny and dry across Spartanburg, Greenville, and nearby areas. The combination of strong sunshine and warm air will push afternoon highs to around 90°F, making it one of the warmest days in recent weeks.
But a shift begins late tonight into Sunday. A weak weather system moving through the region is expected to bring a 30% chance of light showers, mainly before early afternoon. While rainfall totals are expected to stay low, drivers could encounter brief slick spots, especially during morning travel hours.
Wind will also be a factor during the transition. Gusts could reach up to 29 mph in some areas, particularly along major routes like Interstate 85. These gusty conditions, combined with light rain, may reduce visibility slightly and impact early commutes.
The bigger change will be felt in temperatures. After today’s near-90°F heat, Sunday’s highs will drop significantly into the upper 60s. By Monday, daytime temperatures will hover in the low 70s, bringing a noticeably cooler and more comfortable feel.
Sunday night will turn even cooler, with temperatures falling into the mid-40s across parts of the Upstate. Early Monday morning may feel unusually chilly, especially in rural and low-lying areas.
Looking ahead, conditions stabilize quickly. Sunshine returns early next week, with temperatures gradually warming back into the 70s and eventually reaching the low 80s by midweek, signaling a steady spring rebound.
