Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
509 AM EDT Wed Jul 17 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Afternoon shower and thunderstorm coverage begins increasing today
and continues through through the end of the week. This, plus an
increase in overall moisture, will help to keep our high temps
slightly cooler in the mid 90s. The increased overall moisture
also leads to an upward trend in minimum RH values, ranging from
the 40%-50% range today to the 60%-70% range on friday. RH values
are then expected to recover into the 90-100% range overnight.
Winds are generally expected to remain southwesterly ahead of an
approaching front on Thursday into Friday. Storm chances should
continue this weekend as the front slows or stalls near the
region.

Fog potential for tonight: Fog not expected.
