Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • High pressure shifting over the Southeastern U.S. and the western Atlantic Ocean will provide partly cloudy to mostly sunny conditions throughout the day.
  • Low-level moisture increasing from onshore flow returning will allow for isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and evening mainly along the sea breeze boundary as it moves inland across the Panhandle and I-75 corridor (35-60% chance of rain).
  • Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop during the peak heating hours of the day as moisture increases and the sea breeze develops throughout the day across South Florida (50-70% chance of rain). Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms developing during the peak heating hours of the day will be capable of producing lightning, locally gusty winds (45-60 mph), small hail, and heavy downpours – Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for Severe Weather.
  • Heavy downpours may lead to instances of ponding and localized flooding across urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas in South Florida.
  • Minor coastal flooding will continue through tonight’s high tide along the Atlantic Coast as astronomical tides remains elevated in the wake of the full moon.
    • Coastal Flood Advisories remain in place along portions of Northeast Florida along the St. Johns River as elevated tides remain trapped within the basin creating minor flooding.
  • A high risk for rip currents has shifted southward across Southeast Florida beaches, while the rest of the Atlantic Coast returns to a moderate risk for rip currents due to weakening onshore flow; a moderate risk continues for Panhandle beaches.
