A Celebration of Fall in Spartanburg

Good morning, Spartanburg! Well, brace yourself for a bit of a mixed weather bag today. While the early birds amongst you might have noticed our skies being rather overcast this morning, you might want to consider grabbing your umbrella. Scattered showers and the occasional thunderstorm are on the forecast for the afternoon with a 50% chance of rain.

However, after the heat of the summer, this is a refreshing change as we step into the fall. With temperatures predicted to hover around a pleasant 79°F today, the breeze easily hits 5 to 10 mph from the SSE. Don’t let the cool weather damp your spirits, Spartanburg! Night time will bring a 90% chance of thunderstorms and a low of 67°F, setting up the perfect cozy atmosphere for a pleasant evening indoors!
