AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
407 AM EDT WED APR 2 2025
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING INTO THE AREA WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE TODAY
WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS. WHILE
MUCH OF THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY, ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING
IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. HIGH PRESSURE
CONTINUES TO RIDGE OVER THE AREA WHICH WILL LEAD TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES NEAR 90 THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH WINDS
GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL LEAD TO LINGERING
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE AREA WHICH WILL PREVENT RH FROM
DROPPING TO CRITICAL LEVELS, WITH MINIMUM RH GENERALLY AROUND 40
PERCENT OR HIGHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL BE LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
FOG POTENTIAL THROUGH TONIGHT: PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE.
