Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • An active weather pattern will set up later this morning and continue through the afternoon and evening across East Florida as the sea breeze collision, as well as an approaching frontal boundary, will allow for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop (60-75% chance of rain).
  • The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is outlooking a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for Severe Weather across East Florida, along the I-95 and eastward towards the coastline as thunderstorms will be capable of producing frequent lightning, locally gusty winds (45-60 mph), small hail (dime to quarter size), and heavy downpours.
  • Abundant moisture flowing inland from the Gulf of Mexico will allow for heavy and intense downpours within stronger shower and thunderstorm activity, leading to instances of ponding and localized flooding across South Florida – Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for Flash Flooding.
  • High temperatures will warm up into the upper 80s to low 90s, but with warm and muggy conditions temperatures will feel-like they are in the low 90s and approaching the middle 90s across portions of West-Central and Southwest Florida.
  • Winds shifting out of the south to southwest will allow for a moderate risk for rip currents along Panhandle and most East Coast beaches, with a high risk continuing for Southeast beaches.
  • A non-tropical area of low pressure over the Northeast Atlantic Ocean is producing limited showers and thunderstorms, as well as winds near gale force. The system is forecast to turn northeastward today and move over cooler water, and further development is not anticipated (near 0% chance for development over next 48 hours). This system poses no threat to Florida
