Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

  • Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across North Florida with the sea breezes this afternoon and evening (60-85% chance of rain).

  • Locally strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing frequent lightning, gusty winds (40-60 mph), and heavy downpours cannot be ruled out.
  • High temperatures in the upper 80s to middle 90s.
  • Heat indices will reach the upper 90s and triple digits (100-105); Localized areas could briefly see heat index values reach Heat Advisory criteria.
  • Moderate risk for rip currents along several Florida Panhandle and East Coast beaches.
  • Low temperatures in the middle 70s to middle 80s.
  • Showers and thunderstorms will linger into the early overnight hours before gradually dissipate (15-35% chance of rain).
