Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
212 PM EDT Wed Jun 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Hot summer pattern is expected to continue into next week, with
rain chances increasing noticeably Thursday and again over the
weekend. 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.

Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog and low stratus possible.
