Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
 
  • High pressure will slide eastward into Florida today and tonight, bringing clear and dry conditions to the Sunshine State (near 0% chance of rain).
  • Breezy northerly to northwesterly winds near 5-10 mph with gusts near 10-15 mph statewide .
  • High temperatures in the middle 60s across North Florida, upper 60s to low 70s through Central and South Florida, and low to middle 70s along the far Southern Peninsula and Keys.
  • Locally sensitive wildfire conditions may be possible over areas that have seen little to no rainfall recently as relative humidity values fall to near critical thresholds (30-45%) nearly statewide this afternoon.
  • Moderate risk for rip currents nearly statewide.
  • Minor floodingpersist along the Withlacoochee River near Holder and St. Johns River at Astor.
  • Radiational cooling is expected tonight as high pressure settles overhead; however, west-southwesterly winds just off the surface after midnight should prevent a rapid drop in temperatures and widespread frost formation.
  • Low temperatures in the middle 30s to low 40s across interior portions of North Florida and along the Nature Coast with middle to upper 40s along the coastlines.
    • Patchy areas of frost formation will be possible across the Suwannee Valley and inland portions of Northeast Florida early Sunday morning due to calm winds.
    • Some frost cannot be ruled out across the cooler sheltered locations along the Florida Panhandle.
  • Central Florida can expect low temperatures in the 40s overnight while South Florida remains in the middle 40s to middle 50s.
  • Warmer conditions in the middle to upper 60s are anticipated along the Florida Keys.
