473 FNUS52 KILM 080702 FWFILM 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.
