Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
- High pressure moving in behind a passing cold front earlier in the week will give way to mostly sunny conditions statewide (near 0-5% chance of rain)
- Drier air filtering in from the north will allow for relative humidity values to fall near or below critical thresholds this afternoon nearly statewide and allow for sensitive wildfire conditions (upper 20% to middle 30%).
- Locally elevated wildfire conditions cannot be ruled out across portions of East-Central and Southeast Florida where emerging drought conditions have been introduced due to ongoing dry conditions.
- High temperatures will climb into the middle 70s to middle 80s given plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
- Clear and dry conditions can be expected to continue through the evening and overnight hours statewide (near 0-5% chance of rain).
- Onshore winds and an ocean swell producing wave heights of 5-9’ along the Florida East Coast will create a high risk for rip currents along all beaches.
- Minor to moderate riverine flooding continues across the Big Bend and Suwannee River Valley in response to the early April severe weather event.
