× Special Weather Statement
Until 2025-03-21T08:00:00-04:00 • National Weather Service
Dry air will be in place across the region again on Friday as high pressure settles over the Deep South. The relative humidity is expected to drop down into the 15-25% range by the afternoon from the spine of the Appalachians eastward. Although winds will be much lighter than Thursday, the low relative humidity and dry fuels will increase the fire danger across the area. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside, use extreme caution. Note! The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a statewide burn ban, effective until further notice. The Commission plans to reevaluate conditions Sunday. The alert is being issued to strongly discourage people from burning outdoors when weather conditions present an elevated risk of wildfire.
