Hey there, Upstate South Carolina! As we gear up for a beautiful week ahead, let’s dive into what’s happening around town. Bring your friends and family, as there are quite a few events that promise fun and excitement!

Weather Update

First, let’s talk about the weather. Today, we’re enjoying some lovely sunny to partly cloudy skies with a high around 75°F. Perfect weather to catch some sun! If you’re heading out, just be mindful of those gusty winds, blowing in from the west at 10 to 20 mph.

However, be aware that there is a hazardous weather outlook in effect for our region.
