NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
236 PM EDT FRI APR 3 2026
DISCUSSION
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. A FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL SUPPORT CONVECTION ON
SUNDAY. WITH THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT, WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF
THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST WHICH WILL KEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE THROUGH
SUNDAY AND RH ABOVE 40 PERCENT. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH
SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT, AROUND ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH OR
LESS. WINDS SHIFT OUT OF THE NORTHEAST INTO NEXT WEEK BEHIND THE
FRONT, AND A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. THAT
SAID, WE ARE MONITORING THE POTENTIAL FOR ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS NEXT WEEK AS HUMIDITIES DROP BELOW 25-30 PERCENT AND
THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.
FOG POTENTIAL TONIGHT: PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING.
