Fire Weather Planning Forecast
for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
317 PM EDT Sat Jul 13 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A lingering front over the Coastal Carolinas will get washed out
as Bermuda High Pressure takes control into next week, bringing
very hot weather and spottier rain chances. The approach of a cold
front late in the week and into the weekend could increase rain
chances while slightly tempering the heat.

Fog potential for tonight is Low.
