A note for those traveling on 221/Chesnee Highway through Mayo:

The new traffic signals (red lights) at the intersection of 221/ Davis Trading Post Road/ Old Schoolhouse Road have been activated and are now in service. These signals are a much needed improvement for the intersection. With the signals being new it is easy to not realize the lights are operational and the risk is raised of running the light. Thank you to our state and local representatives who have worked to get these signals.

🔥Fire Fact Friday🔥 Sleeping with your bedroom door closed is a proven, life-saving habit. Backed by extensive fire science, a shut door serves as a physical barrier that restricts oxygen, blocks toxic smoke, and keeps deadly heat out of your sleeping space. It buys you and your family precious time to escape. 🚪 🧯

‼️ Additional storms are ahead and some of them may be strong late this evening.

For many of us, a good part of the day may stay dry before things begin to ramp up late. We’ll likely start with clouds and periods of drizzle before spotty storms develop this afternoon.

Then between roughly 7–9 PM and beyond, expect a better chance for heavier rain and thunderstorms.

My main concern will be flooding. With tropical moisture in place, any storm will be capable of very heavy downpours along with thunder and lightning.

Bottom line:
🌦️ Most of the day: dry for many
⛈️ Afternoon: isolated to scattered storms
🌧️ Late evening: heavier rain & storms move

The burn ban is still in place across South Carolina.
Dry conditions, gusty winds, and low humidity continue to fuel a high wildfire risk statewide. The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a State Forester’s Burning Ban until further notice.
This ban means no outdoor burning in unincorporated areas. That includes yard debris, prescribed burns, campfires, bonfires, and any recreational fires.
