Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

Meteorological Summary:

Reduced visibility can be expected this morning along the I-10 corridor and Suwannee Valley as dense fog and low clouds have developed.
High pressure will dominate across the Sunshine State once again, bringing warm and dry conditions throughout the day.
There is a limited chance for some isolated showers and rumbles of thunder to develop along the sea breeze boundaries late this afternoon and evening throughout interior portions of the Peninsula (10-20% chance of rain).
High temperatures will climb well into the upper 80s to middle 90s across the state, with portions of Central Florida approaching the upper 90s.
Heat index values, or feels-like temperatures, by the early to mid-afternoon hours will reach the middle 90s statewide, with portions of the northeast and central Peninsula reaching the upper 90s and near triple digits.
Any shower or possible thunderstorm activity that manages to develop will linger throughout the evening and early overnight hours before dissipating as they move towards the adjacent coastal waters (10-15% chance of rain).
Patchy fog may develop early Thursday morning along the Suwannee Valley and northern I-75 corridor due to light winds and mostly clear skies.
Southerly winds along the Panhandle continues to create onshore winds that will lead to a high risk for rip currents. A moderate risk extends along the Florida East Coast, with a locally high risk for Palm Beach County beaches.
The Santa Fe River at Three Rivers Estates is forecast to fall below flood stage later this week as water levels continue to gradually decline.
