Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
350 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures and moisture gradually increase starting Wednesday
through the end of the week when heat and humidity will be a main
concern once again. With the increased moisture, isolated to
scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms return to the
region. Min RH values should rise from the 38-42% range this
afternoon to 45-50% by late this week. Overnight RH recovery
should improve from the past couple of nights as dewpoints rise.
Despite many areas seeing heavy rain this past weekend, fire
concerns are still elevated as antecedent conditions remain dry.

Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog possible, mainly in the
southern Midlands and CSRA.
