Special Weather Statement issued January 15 at 12:39AM EST by NWS Columbia SC

Effective: Thu January 15, 2026, 12:39 AM
Expires: Thu January 15, 2026, 7:00 PM

A cold front moving through the region will bring gusty winds and drier air back into the forecast area today. Wind gusts of between 20-25 mph, and low relative humidity values of between 20-25 percent are expected over central SC and east-central GA. These will combine with dry fuels to bring and increase fire risk today.

Outdoor burning is discouraged. Consult your local burn permitting authority on whether you may burn today. Use caution in any activities that could spark a fire.

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.
