Fire Weather Planning Forecast
for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
319 PM EDT Mon Sep 23 2024

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure north of the area weakens by Tuesday allowing for a
rise in humidity and perhaps some very light rain. More unsettled
weather should return late week as we see at least some fringe
effects from low pressure tracking northward from the Gulf of
Mexico.

Fog potential for tonight is Moderate.
