Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina
and East Central Georgia
National Weather Service Columbia SC
242 PM EDT Mon Jul 27 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Isolated showers and/or storms will remain possible through
early this evening. Additional moisture increase on Tuesday
ahead of an approaching cold front will bring scattered showers
and/or storms across the Pee Dee region and eastern Midlands.
There could be a few stronger storms in the Pee Dee Tuesday
evening and into the overnight ahead of the front. Rain
totals are generally expected to remain light outside of
areas that see a thunderstorm. Behind the front, dry air is
forecast to push into the region beginning Wednesday, with
the drier airmass remaining through Friday. MinRH values
mid to late week are forecast in the 30-40 percent range for
Thur/Fri. Rain chances look to increase again next weekend
as moisture and humidity both return to the region.
Fog potential: Patch fog expected to develop late tonight.
