FNUS52 KCAE 261828 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 228 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 .DISCUSSION... Upper ridging and surface high pressure remain in place through Monday keeping the region warm and dry. Despite the extended period of drier conditions, southeasterly flow should keep RH values above critical levels. The primary concern Saturday morning will be the potential for low clouds and/or patchy fog with guidance showing the thickest cloud cover over the northeastern FA. Regardless of whether fog or low clouds develop, cloud bases are expected to rise and become either scattered cumulus or stratocumulus by the early afternoon. The next chance of rain is currently expected on Tuesday as a cold front crosses the region.
