Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
202 AM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Excessive heat and humidity will remain a concern this weekend.
A frontal boundary is expected to move into the region late on
Sunday and remain over or near the region through Monday. This
should enhance shower and thunderstorm activity.

A widespread wetting rain is not expected despite the increase
in convective activity. Because of this, fire weather concerns
will continue to increase, especially with the Independence Day
celebrations coming up.

There will be a brief respite from the heat and humidity Monday
through Tuesday, but it returns by Independence Day.

Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog possible.
