Fire Weather Planning Forecast
for Northeast South Carolina and Southeast North Carolina
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
228 AM EST Thu Nov 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Weak flow on the west side of high pressure centered off the
Southeast Coast will maintain warm temperatures and elevated
humidity through Fri with rain chances thru Thursday. A cold
front will then push through late Fri followed by cooler and
drier high pressure into Sun before the high shifts offshore
bringing back warmer and moister conditions by early next week.

Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable.

Fog potential for tonight is High.
