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.
