677 FNUS52 KCAE 040901 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 501 AM EDT Thu Jul 4 2024 .DISCUSSION...Another dry summer day ahead for July 4th with hot temps pushing near 100F and afternoon RH`s around 35%. Winds will veer slightly to out of the south-southeast and strengthen this morning, sustained 6-8 mph with gusts up to 10-14 mph this afternoon. Strong winds off the surface should prevent fog tonight but increasing moisture could bring some low stratus in spots. Rain chances begin to increase Friday as surface moisture continues to build into the region, followed by a weak front on Saturday which should bring scattered-widespread showers and storms. Drought conditions across all of SC and eastern GA. Fog potential for tonight: Low stratus possible with some fog near bodies of water.
