Special Weather Statement issued April 15 at 1:53AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Effective: Wed April 15, 2026, 1:53 AM

Relative humidity values will fall into the 25 to 30 percent range this afternoon, with winds increasing to around 10 to 15 mph with some higher gusts. With vegetation remaining dry, the ongoing drought, and favorable meteorological conditions, fires will be able to catch and spread rapidly.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
