387 FNUS52 KCAE 041749 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 149 PM EDT Thu Jul 4 2024 .DISCUSSION... Upper ridge remains in place across the Southeastern US on Friday while at the surface, high pressure moves out to sea as a cold front approaches from the west. The risk for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms is higher on Friday with rain most likely across the CSRA and the western Midlands where there is a low to moderate, or 30 to 40 percent, chance. Outside of any isolated to scattered convection, it will be a hot and dry day with afternoon temperatures in the upper 90s to around 100 degrees. Despite the expected rise in moisture across the forecast area, much of the region remains in drought conditions resulting in increased fire danger. Fog potential for tonight: Low stratus possible with some fog near bodies of water.
