Cloudy Skies and Umbrella Weather in South Carolina

Today won’t be the best day for outdoor plans in Columbia and nearby areas. A steady stream of rain is expected to linger through early afternoon, with some parts of the Midlands seeing heavy downpours. The wet start makes sense—November in the South often brings damp, chilly days. By late morning, the rain should ease up in western counties, moving eastward slowly. But don’t pack away the raincoat just yet; eastern areas will still see steady showers past lunchtime. Temperatures will stay stuck in the 50s, feeling more like late fall than early November.Tonight, things get foggy in spots before dawn tomorrow. Early risers will need layers—jacket weather stays through breakfast. But by Sunday afternoon, the sun makes a comeback, pushing temperatures into the low 70s. That’s a nice change after days of gray skies. Monday heats up further, hitting the upper 70s thanks to a warm southern breeze. It’s a classic case of weather flipping from gloomy to pleasant in just a few days. The next chance for rain? Not until later in the week, around Wednesday or Thursday. Until then, enjoy the dry stretch. It’s a good reminder that even when weather feels unpredictable, patterns do emerge.
