Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • The typical summertime thunderstorm pattern will develop again today across the Sunshine State.
  • Showers and thunderstorms are currently along the Panhandle and Big Bend coastlines, but will gradually move inland throughout the morning and afternoon hours.
  • Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms can be expected to develop statewide with the help of the sea breeze and daytime heating (35-65% chance of rain).
    • Across the Peninsula, activity will generally move from west to east due to the dominating Gulf sea breeze pushing further inland than the Atlantic sea breeze.
  • Embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible during the peak heating hours of the day. Frequent lightning, gusty winds, instances of small hail and heavy downpours can be anticipated.
  • Ponding of water and localized flash flooding cannot be ruled out with heavy downpours, especially over urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas.
  • Seasonably warm and humid conditions will continue into the afternoon as high temperatures reach the upper 80s to middle 90s this afternoon.
    • Heat index values will peak in the upper 90s to triple digits (100-106-degrees), with portions of Northeast and East-Central Florida remaining just below Heat Advisory criteria.
  • Showers and thunderstorms will diminish throughout the evening and overnight hours with the loss of daytime heating; however, a few may linger along coastlines overnight (20-40% chance of rain).
  • Low temperatures will fall into the 70s and lower 80s overnight.
  • A moderate risk for rip current extends along numerous North Florida and Space Coast beaches.
