Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
156 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Hot and humid conditions likely continue Saturday
and Sunday with isolated to scattered showers and storms
expected each afternoon. Despite surface dew points in
the upper 60s to low 70s, deep mixing should allow
minimum RH values during the afternoon each day to fall
toward 35-45% each day. Winds should be fairly light out
of the west to southwest Saturday before picking up toward
10 mph Sunday with gusts up to 15-20 mph possible. A front is
expected to stall across the forecast area late Sunday into
early next week, bringing increased rain chances through at
least Tuesday. Diurnally driven rain chances look to exist
from the mid week into the late week ahead of another front
where gusty winds could be possible Thursday.
Fog potential: Fog is not expected tonight.
