Fire Weather Planning Forecast
for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
313 PM EDT Sun Jul 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A stalled front well northwest of the area will keep greater shower
and storm coverage just outside our area during the next few afternoons
with the potential for clusters to affect areas near and west of
I-95 during the late afternoon and evening. Greater shower and
storm coverage seems more likely across the area late in the week
as another cold front pushes closer to the area. Temps will remain
slightly above normal through the work week with dewpoints
remaining near to a bit above normnal.

Fog potential for tonight is Low.
