and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
249 PM EDT Sat Jul 20 2024

.DISCUSSION...Widespread showers and thunderstorms likely overnight
into Sunday morning. Through next week there is little change in the
pattern with scattered-widespread showers and thunderstorms expected
each afternoon-evening. Winds will generally remain out of the
south-southwest, gusting up to 15 mph in the afternoons outside of
any convection. Little to no airmass change is expected through next
weekend so relatively high low level moisture will continue.

Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog and low stratus possible
following the afternoon-evening rain.
