Special Statement
... Elevated fire danger Sunday...
Wind is not expected to reach the red flag warning criteria
on Sunday. However... low humidity and low fuel moisture will
result in elevated fire danger. Winds Sunday will be northwest to
west at 10 to 15 mph with gusts near 25 mph. Afternoon relative
humidities will lower to near 15 percent over much of the area.
The South Carolina forestry commission has posted a red flag fire
alert for much of the area. The alert strongly advised postponing
outdoor burning until conditions improve.
