Coldest Morning Until Fall Hitting Asheville Boone Greenville Spartanburg and Anderson This Friday With 30s in Mountains and 40s Across Upstate Before Huge Warm-Up Next Week

ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA — Friday morning is shaping up to be the coldest start to the day until fall across the western Carolinas, with temperatures dropping into the 30s across mountain communities and the 40s across Upstate locations before a dramatic pattern flip brings a huge warm-up heading into next week. Forecasters are describing this as the last opportunity for residents to enjoy crisp cool morning conditions before the warmth takes over for the foreseeable future.

Mountain Communities Facing Coldest Temperatures With Boone at 36 and Asheville at 39 Friday Morning

The coldest readings Friday morning are concentrated across the mountain communities, with Boone forecast to drop to just 36 degrees — the coldest of any location in the outlined forecast area — while Asheville comes in at 39 degrees.

Both Boone and Asheville are sitting well below the 40 degree mark Friday morning, reinforcing the forecast message that this will serve as the coldest start to the day the region will experience between now and fall. The mountain elevations are amplifying the chill, pushing temperatures down into ranges more typical of late autumn than mid-May across western North Carolina.

Upstate Locations Greenville Spartanburg and Anderson Holding in the Mid to Upper 40s

Across the Upstate, Friday morning temperatures are forecast to remain in the mid to upper 40s, with Greenville hitting 46 degrees, Spartanburg dropping to 45 degrees, and Anderson coming in at 47 degrees.

While not as dramatically cold as the mountain communities, the Upstate readings still represent a notably cool start to the day that stands in sharp contrast to the warmth that is coming rapidly in the days ahead. Residents across Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson should enjoy the cool and comfortable Friday morning conditions while they last as the pattern change arrives quickly after this final cold start.

Pattern Flips Quickly After Friday With Huge Warm-Up Heading Into Next Week

After Friday morning delivers the coldest start until fall, the atmospheric pattern is forecast to flip quickly and dramatically, ushering in a significant warm-up that will push temperatures well above recent levels heading into next week. Forecasters are framing Friday morning as the last gasp of cool spring conditions before summer-like warmth takes over the region for the foreseeable future.

Residents across Asheville, Boone, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and surrounding communities across western North Carolina and the Upstate should make the most of Friday’s crisp conditions before the heat arrives. Stay with GordonRamsayClub.com for the latest updates.
