FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
243 AM EDT TUE APR 7 2026
...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING DUE TO LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND BREEZY WINDS...
DISCUSSION
A DRY AIR MASS CONTINUES TO SETTLE OVER THE AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK
WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE IN RELATIVE HUMIDITY APPROACHING CRITICAL
VALUES BOTH THIS AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WHILE WINDS
WILL BE MORE MARGINAL TODAY, CONCERN WITH DRY FUELS AND WINDS
INCREASING SOMEWHAT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING, HIGHER FIRE
DANGER IS EXPECTED WITH RELATIVELY HIGH PROBABILITY OF MAX WIND
GUSTS GREATER THAN 25 MPH SOUTH OF I-20. ANOTHER FIRE DANGER
STATEMENT IS LIKELY WEDNESDAY AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR A RED FLAG WARNING. THURSDAY, LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
INCREASE IS LIKELY, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES MODELS ARE A BIT TOO FAST
WITH THIS INCREASE SO LINGERING FIRE DANGER IS POSSIBLE INTO
THURSDAY. OTHERWISE, EXPECT WARMING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH LITTLE
TO NO CHANCES FOR RAIN IN THE NEXT WEEK.
FOG POTENTIAL TONIGHT: NO FOG EXPECTED.
