Greenville is starting Tuesday under clear skies and a mild 57 degrees before sunrise, with sunshine set to push afternoon temperatures to about 84. It will be dry and mostly calm, but this week’s easy 80s come with a catch: a sharp cold front arrives Friday night and cuts weekend highs by roughly 20 degrees.
Sunny 80s Hold Through Friday
Tuesday through Friday will bring uninterrupted sunshine, with highs near 84, 85, 86 and 86 degrees, respectively. Overnight lows will stay mild at first, ranging from around 60 to 63 degrees. The National Weather Service says the Upstate should remain dry and seasonally warm through Friday.
Winds should remain light for most of the stretch, generally staying below 6 mph during the afternoons before increasing Friday. With rain chances at or near zero, the forecast favors outdoor errands, patio time and late-season yard work — though Friday’s warmth will be the last easy taste of summer for a while.
Cold Front Brings A Brisk Weekend Reset
Friday night marks the turn, with north-northwest winds increasing to 14 to 18 mph and temperatures falling to around 49 degrees. Saturday will be sunny but much cooler, with a high near 66 and northeast winds of 10 to 15 mph.
Sunday stays bright and dry, but the chill lingers with a high near 63 and an overnight low around 45. The broader regional forecast also flags some frost potential in colder spots over the weekend, so sensitive plants may need attention before Friday night.
Temperatures Rebound Monday
Greenville gets a modest recovery Monday, when sunshine returns with a high near 70. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the area, and the main weather story is the dramatic temperature swing from sunny mid-80s to crisp fall mornings.
