Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
130 PM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures and moisture gradually increase starting Wednesday
through the end of the week when heat and humidity will be a main
concern once again. With the increased moisture, isolated to
scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms return to the
region.

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.
