645 FNUS52 KCAE 020710 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 310 AM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024 .DISCUSSION... Cooler and somewhat refreshing temperatures and drier air are expected for one more day today. From Wednesday onward, the area will begin to transition back to increased heat and humidity. Isolated showers and thunderstorms could develop across the southern CSRA and Midlands this afternoon, with the remainder of the area staying dry. As we transition back to the middle to end of the week, moisture will increase along with rain chances across the area each day. Even though some of the area received some much needed rain over the past several days, the area remains dry overall due to a lack of a widespread wetting rain. Because of this, fire weather concerns remain high and are expected to continue to increase through the week, especially with the Independence Day celebrations coming up. Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog possible, mainly in the southern Midlands and CSRA.
