The 'light' chance of freezing rain may not move into the area until around noon with 35 degrees as Monday's high.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until 1 p.m. across the Upstate, but little to no freezing rain is expected in Spartanburg County and the surrounding area.

Light precipitation started in northwest Georgia Monday morning. No freezing rain had come to the Spartanburg County area as of 8 a.m.

“It’s going to be lighter if it happens at all. … And we’re probably going to get warmer somewhat ahead of it,” said Danny Gant, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service at the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

The chance of freezing rain may not move into the area until around noon with 35 degrees as Monday’s high.

All Spartanburg County schools were closed Monday as a result of the winter weather advisory.

“There’s not going to be an ice storm or anything, this is just to cover any potential for freezing rain,” Gant said. “Whenever you have any freezing rain or anything like that you want to allow for extra spacing, and just drive slow.”

The week-long cold front that brought an arctic air mass and frigid temps to the Upstate will clear out by Tuesday.

Temperatures will be about 20 degrees warmer then, Gant said.

By the weekend, temperatures are expected to be in the 60s, he said.
