FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
154 AM EDT SUN MAY 24 2026
DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THE DAY WILL BEGIN WITH LOW CEILINGS AND
PERHAPS A FEW PASSING SHOWERS. HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY OF THE SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. HIGH MOISTURE VALUES MEAN THAT ANY THUNDERSTORMS
THAT FORM COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING. WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE GENERALLY LIGHT
AND SOUTHERLY. THE STORMY WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
DURING THE NEXT WEEK WITH DAILY CHANCES FOR MOSTLY DIURNALLY
DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
FOG POTENTIAL TONIGHT: AREAS OF FOG POSSIBLE.
