Can a caster who is (for all intents and purposes) blind place area spells with some degree of accuracy? How difficult is it for a blind caster to determine range if aiming at a spot that was previously visible?

i.e. During the previous combat round, a wizard targeted an orc with a fireball. Later that round, that wizard is rendered unable to see. On his next action, he decides to cast another fireball at the original location.

Is there an official rule for this situation?

Thanks for the help.
