FNUS52 KCAE 231859 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 259 PM EDT Sat Sep 23 2017 .DISCUSSION...Weak surface high pressure centered over the Ohio Valley will continue to push drier air down into the forecast area through Monday, although temperatures will remain above normal. The pressure gradient will be weak enough to support poor dispersion from about 8 PM this evening to 9 AM Sunday morning, during the time of inversion. Limited low-level moisture and some weak mixing will prevent all but shallow ground fog near river valleys from forming. Surface winds Sunday will be from the northeast around 5 mph after daybreak, then increase to around 10 mph by afternoon. Transport winds will be similar in direction with speeds of 10 to 15 mph from late morning through late afternoon. Relative humidities will drop to near 45 percent.
