Fire Weather Planning Forecast
for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
302 AM EDT Mon Jul 8 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Storm coverage for today looks isolated to scattered as better
forcing remains north of the area, but the moist environment could
lead to locally heavy rainfall this afternoon and evening.
Greater shower and storm coverage seems more likely across the
area late in the week as another cold front pushes closer to the
area. Temps will remain slightly above normal through the work
week.

Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable.

Fog potential for tonight is Low.
