Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
322 AM EDT Thu Jun 27 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Hot summer pattern is expected to continue into next week. Showers
and storms in the afternoon are expected to be isolated-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 will
approach 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.
