503 FNUS52 KCAE 280608 FWFCAE Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central South Carolina and East Central Georgia National Weather Service Columbia SC 108 AM EST Sat Feb 28 2026 .DISCUSSION... Lingering low level moisture today with a bit drier conditions expected Sunday as high pressure ridges into the area with minimum RH between 35 to 45 percent. Winds generally out of the northeast to begin the week but as the high shifts offshore the flow shifts out of the south/southwest midweek which will reinforce the low level moisture over the area. Rain chances remain low until the end of the week, however. Fog potential tonight: Areas of fog once again tonight, with patchy dense fog possible.
