274 FNUS52 KCAE 271757 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 157 PM EDT Thu Jun 27 2024 .DISCUSSION... The main concern over the next several days is that the hot summer pattern is expected to continue into next week. With the lack of appreciable precipitation for much of the area, fire weather concerns will continue to increase, especially with the Independence Day celebrations coming up. Afternoon showers and storms are expected to be isolated to scattered each day, so a widespread wetting rain is not expected on any given day. Winds will remain generally out of the south with some gusty winds likely each afternoon as mixing develops. A front approaches the area Sunday into Monday with additional rain chances expected, followed by wind shift out of the north and drier air filling in for Monday. One final note, the highest heat index values are expected to occur on Sunday, with readings between 105 to 113 becoming possible due to increased moisture. Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog possible.
