Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Dense Fog Advisories remain in effect across the Panhandle and western Big Bend through the mid-morning hours as dense fog and low clouds have reduced visibility to ¼ of a mile or less at times.
  • Foggy conditions across North Florida will generally lift and dissipate as the sun continues to rise and drier conditions develop with the help of high pressure returning over the Gulf Coast states.
  • A broken line of showers with embedded rumbles of thunder will continue to push south of the I-4 corridor and into South Florida throughout the morning hours ahead of a weak cold front.
  • Another round of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms develop this afternoon and evening along East-Central and Southeast Florida as the sea breeze develops before pushing offshore late this evening (20-50% chance of rain).
  • With the sea breeze developing, some of these thunderstorms may become strong to severe during the peak heating hours of the day and will be capable of producing frequent lightning, damaging wind gusts (50-60 mph), large hail (quarter-size) and locally heavy downpours – Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for Severe Weather.
    • While confidence regarding an embedded tornado or two is low, it cannot be completely ruled out.
  • Locally heavy downpours or multiple rounds of shower and thunderstorm activity could lead to localized instances of flash flooding or ponding of water across urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas.
  • While the overall wildfire threat is lower than the last few days, thunderstorms will be capable of producing lightning and erratic winds that could ignite new fires or help to spread existing ones.
  • High temperatures will reach the middle to upper 70s along the coastlines and lower to middle 80s throughout the state.
  • Fog development will be possible throughout North Florida overnight and into early Wednesday morning, with instances of locally dense fog possible in some areas.
  • Low temperatures will return to the middle 50s to middle 60s throughout the state and upper 60s to lower 70s across Southeast Florida and the Keys.
  • Numerous beaches across the Panhandle and East-Central Florida can expect a moderate risk for rip currents to persist throughout the day.
