winds, and marginal fuel moisture will result in an increased
fire danger today across much of southeast South Carolina and
Chatham County, Georgia. This includes locations such as the
Francis Marion National Forest, the Ace Basin and the Savannah
National Wildlife Refuge, as well as communities in and near
Charleston, Summerville, Walterboro, Beaufort and Savannah.
