Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

Meteorological Summary:

The active and unsettled weather pattern continues across the Florida Panhandle as severe thunderstorms will be capable of producing all hazards.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is outlooking an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) for Severe Weather across the western Panhandle towards the Apalachicola River, a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) extending just west of the Capital City, and a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for the rest of the state.
The primary threats associated with scattered showers and thunderstorms include damaging wind gusts (50-70 mph), isolated tornadoes, damaging hail, and heavy downpours.
An elevated risk for flash flooding continues across the western Panhandle as additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to bring heavy downpours across saturated grounds.
A Heat Advisory remains in place across the Florida Keys as warm and humid conditions will make heat indices break triple digits (108-112).
Nearly all beaches statewide can expect a moderate to high risk for rip currents, with a low risk along isolated portions of the West Coast and Southeast.
Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organizations in association with a tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands (Invest 92L). Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the next day or two. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has indicated there is a high chance for development over the next 48 hours (80%), and over the next 7 days (90%). Invest 92L poses no threat to Florida over the next 7-10, at least.
