FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA
AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
253 PM EDT MON AUG 12 2013
.DISCUSSION...LINGERING UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING WILL HELP CAUSE
HOT TEMPERATURES TODAY AND LIMIT THE COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
THE THUNDERSTORM CHANCE WILL INCREASE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS A DEEPENING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE FROM THE GREAT
LAKES BEGINS TO AFFECT THE SOUTH REGION. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WILL STALL NEAR THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY.
SOME OVERNIGHT CLOUDINESS AND THE VERY WARM AIRMASS WILL HELP
TO MINIMIZE EARLY MORNING FOG TUESDAY...WITH POOR DISPERSION
MOST OF TONIGHT.
