Clear and Cold Start to the Week in Newberry, SC
Good morning, Newberry! If you stepped outside early today, you would have noticed a crisp, clear sky and a rather nippy temperature sitting at 32°F (0°C). Just what we expect from a January morning, right? As the sun rose at 6:36 AM, many folks probably grabbed their jackets — and for good reason!
What Can We Expect This Morning?
As we step into the morning hours, the temperature is predicted to drop to around 25°F (-4°C) at 7:00 AM with clear conditions. A little later, by 9:00 AM, temperatures will have crept up to 31°F (0°C), offering a bit of a reprieve from the chill. If you’re heading out for that morning coffee or taking a brisk walk, you’ll be treated to mostly sunny skies!
The Midday Warm-Up
Heading toward midday, our fair city is gearing up for some sunshine! By 12:00 PM, the forecast shows a delightful 45°F (7°C), with full-on sunshine lighting up the streets of Newberry. For those planning lunch outside—don’t forget that sunscreen, even if the temperatures are still on the cooler side! The UV index is low today, peaking at 1, so sun protection isn’t a major concern, but it’s always good to be sunscreen savvy!
Afternoon Outlook
As we transition into the afternoon, temperatures are expected to rise a bit more, touching a comfy high of 50°F (10°C) by around 1:00 PM. That’s borderline perfect for a stroll in the park, especially with a light, variable wind blowing through. On that note, the wind chill factor will make it feel like 49°F (9°C), which means layers might still be a good idea if you value warmth!
Evening and Overnight Conditions
When the day starts winding down and the sun sets by 5:38 PM, the temperature will drop back to around 26°F (-3°C) by nightfall. So, if you’re enjoying an evening out or just settling in for a cozy night at home, be prepared for that chill. The moon will be quite a sight too, with a lovely waning crescent visible after its rise at 3:14 AM.
Weather Stats to Note
Today, Newberry should enjoy about 5 hours of sunshine, which many of us can appreciate after the long winter months. And here’s some good news for outdoor enthusiasts: the pollen count is low at just 2, making this a good day for everyone, especially for allergy sufferers. Additionally, air quality is looking great with an AQI of 35, so you can breathe easy!
Stay Safe!
While the day promises clear skies and bright sunshine, there’s also a **Lake Wind Advisory** in effect until 7:00 PM. This kind of advisory suggests that wind conditions on the lake could create some hazardous situations, so for those planning water activities, it’s wise to stay informed and cautious. Also, a special weather statement has been issued to inform residents of potential hazardous conditions, so keep your ears to the ground for updates!
