Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
356 AM EDT Thu May 30 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Quiet and dry weather is expected over the next several days as
high pressure settles in from the north. Daily min RH values
should be in the 25-35% range through Saturday, with a slow
moistening trend thereafter. Winds will slowly shift from
northerly today to northeasterly and then to easterly as the axis
of surface high pressure pushes through the area this weekend. The
next chance of rain isn`t clear, but early next week is looking
like the most likely timeframe at this point.

Fog potential for tonight: Fog not expected.
