FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
218 PM EDT SUN OCT 25 2026
DISCUSSION
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN MUCH OF THIS WEEK WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION INDUCING NORTHEAST WINDS OF 10-15 MPH
DURING THE DAY WITH SOME HIGHER AFTERNOON GUSTS. NORTHEASTERLY GUSTS
TO AROUND 20-25 MPH CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE WEAKENING THIS
EVENING. MIN RH VALUES SHOULD STAY ABOVE 40 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON,
BUT DRIER AIR WILL MOVE BACK INTO THE REGION MONDAY AND TUESDAY
PUTTING MIN RH VALUES INTO THE 25-35 PERCENT RANGE. HUMIDITY VALUES
THEN REBOUND WEDNESDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS BETTER MOISTURE RETURNS
TO THE REGION. OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL BE VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.
FOG POTENTIAL: ELEVATED BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS SHOULD PREVENT
WIDESPREAD FOG CONCERNS, BUT SOME SHELTERED AREAS COULD SEE SOME
SHALLOW GROUND FOG IN THE MORNING.
