000 FNUS52 KILM 181242 FWFILM Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina National Weather Service Wilmington NC 842 AM EDT Thu Apr 18 2024 .DISCUSSION... Above normal temperatures and dry downslope flow will lead to low RH values today. A sea breeze will form at the coast around 12-1pm pushing inland through the rest of the afternoon. Rain chances will increase on Friday as a cold front moves across the area. The front stalls in the area for the weekend, maintaining elevated rain chances. High pressure next week leads to drying conditions once more. Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable. Fog potential for tonight is None.
