FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
140 AM EDT WED JUL 9 2025
DISCUSSION
THE DAY BEGINS UNDER CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR MOST.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THERE MAY BE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND/OR FOG
AROUND DAYBREAK, ESPECIALLY IN LOCATIONS THAT SAW DECENT RAINFALL
YESTERDAY. THE PRESENCE OF A LOW-LEVEL JET AROUND 20 KNOTS WOULD
FAVOR LOW CLOUDS OVER FOG OUTSIDE OF BODIES OF WATER. ANY MORNING
LOW CLOUDS SHOULD BURN OFF AND TRANSITION TO SCATTERED CUMULUS BY
MIDDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON, A FEW OF WHICH MAY BECOME STRONG PRODUCING DOWNBURST
WINDS. A LOCALIZED FLASH FLOOD THREAT CONTINUES AS WELL. THESE
CONDITIONS LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE UPPER
RIDGING DECREASES RAIN CHANCES WHILE INCREASING TEMPERATURES FOR
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
FOG POTENTIAL: POSSIBLE NEAR BODIES OF WATER.
