National Weather Service Columbia SC
423 AM EST Fri Feb 7 2025

Forecast is based on ignition time of 0700 EST on February 07.
If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather
Service.

.DISCUSSION...
A cold front is slowly working into the region from the west and
north this morning. Showers currently over north-central GA will
work into the forecast area later this morning. It is unclear
whether they will hold together until they reach the spot location
but there is a chance that there will be a few showers in the
vicinity by late morning.

The wind forecast for the spot location is tricky for today. The
cold front will eventually stall over the area. It is not clear
whether the front will reach the burn or not. Expect west winds
through the morning hours but mid-day or in the afternoon we may
see winds shift to the north or go light and variable if the front
reaches further south. Isolated showers may develop during the
afternoon but conditions are not favorable for widespread
rainfall.

Areas of fog may develop tonight. Moist low-levels and a front
over the region typically favors fog.
