FNUS52 KCAE 210623 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 223 AM EDT Tue Apr 21 2026 .DISCUSSION... South Carolina has issued a Burn Ban for the entire state until further notice. Another cool and very dry day is expected again today. MinRH values fall to between 15-25 percent. Northeast winds around 4-8 mph, and couple isolated gusts near 15 mph cannot be ruled out as the inversion breaks between 9-11am. Confidence remains fairly high that minimum RH values remain near to below critical values much of the week before moisture slowly increases this weekend, possibly with a returning chance for rain as well. Fog potential tonight: No fog is expected.
