Special Weather Statement South Carolina | Effective 03/22/2026 22:50

The combination of relative humidities falling near or below 30 percent, northerly wind gusts up to 25-30 mph, and dry fine fuels will create increased fire danger conditions across parts of the northern and western Midlands. Given the dry vegetation and increased winds outdoor fires will have the potential to spread quickly, increasing the danger of wildfires. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution as fires can quickly get out of control under these conditions.
