The next biggest threat to containing wildfires that remain burning tonight will be the cold front.
Tonight, a dry cold front will sweep through (it's entering the Pee Dee and the Border Belt now, as of 8:45pm). It won't bring us any moisture, but it will shift the wind direction. This direction change means the direction of any still burning fires will change, and so will the smoke.
Earlier today, our winds were out of the southwest, so fires and smoke were moving northeasterly. With the cold front, our winds will be out of the north, so fires and smoke will move southerly.
We'll still be breezy tonight too, with wind gusts between 20-30mph still possible into tomorrow morning. Winds are a bit less breezy tomorrow, some gusts up to 20mph still possible through the afternoon
