National Weather Service Charleston Meteorologist Jonathan Lamb said according to the smoke forecast, smoke is traveling into coastal South Carolina Thursday afternoon and into the evening.
In Beaufort County, residents and visitors “could see some smoke up in the sky,” Lamb said, adding that it could cause the sun to take on a slightly orange tinge. But concentrations will not be great enough that it would lead to dense smoke in the area, and county residents and visitors should “generally not worry” about potential health impacts, he said.
