507 FNUS52 KCAE 221838 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 238 PM EDT Sun Sep 22 2024 .DISCUSSION... Quiet weather is expected over the next several days. Dry high pressure should remain in place until Tuesday, with the potential for showers and isolated storms increasing across the northern forecast area by Tuesday evening. Moisture will continue to increase through the week with low chances for rain each day. Winds will generally remain south or southeasterly for much of the week. Uncertainty in the forecast increases by the end of the week as a potential tropical system pushes into the Gulf of Mexico. Tonight: Patchy fog is unlikely outside of fog prone locations.
