Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
442 AM EDT Tue May 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...
An upper ridge will move over the region today, resulting in
partly to mostly sunny skies once morning low stratus and/or
fog lifts. A few showers or thunderstorms are possible early
in the day, especially across the Pee Dee region. The ridge
will help to suppress shower and thunderstorm activity in the
afternoon and evening despite hot and humid conditions.  The
highest risk for convection should remain over the northern
and eastern portions of the forecast area. Shower and thunderstorm
chances increase Wednesday through Friday, with strong to severe
thunderstorms possible, especially on Thursday as a potent
storm system in the Central CONUS moves east.  Drier weather is
then expected to return for the weekend.

Fog potential: Patchy.
