Special Weather Statement issued April 22 at 1:38PM EDT by NWS Columbia SC

Effective: Wed April 22, 2026, 1:38 PM
Expires: Wed April 22, 2026, 8:00 PM

Smoke from wildfires in central and southern Georgia are moving into the CSRA and Midlands, causing reduced visibilities, with some locations dropping to between 3 and 6 miles, or briefly lower in thicker pockets of dense smoke. This may create hazardous travel, especially for motorists driving along and south of I-20, where visibility can change quickly over short distances. In addition, people with asthma or other respiratory sensitivities may experience irritation and should consider limiting prolonged time outdoors.

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.
