Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • A rinse and repeat of Tuesday can be expected as the daily thunderstorm pattern will develop throughout the day.
  • There are currently a few scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms along the coastal Big Bend, and these will continue along the coastline before moving inland.
  • Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop throughout the afternoon and evening hours with the help of the sea breeze and daytime heating (40-70% chance of rain).
  • Locally embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible during the peak heating hours of the day and will be capable of producing frequent lightning, damaging wind gusts (45-60 mph) and torrential downpours.
  • There is a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for Flash Flooding across the northern Suwannee Valley and Northeast Florida where greater coverage of showers and thunderstorms could lead to instances of flash flooding and ponding of water.
  • Hot and muggy conditions can be expected this afternoon and evening with high temperatures in the upper 80s to middle 90s and heat index values in the upper 90s to triple digits (100-106-degrees).
    • Several areas across the state will remain just below Heat Advisory criteria; however, a brief one cannot be ruled out.
  • Shower and thunderstorm activity will diminish throughout the overnight hours leading to mostly dry conditions; but some lingering activity could continue along the coastlines (20-40% chance of rain).
  • There is a moderate risk for rip currents along numerous Panhandle and Atlantic Coast beaches.
  • Low temperatures will fall in the 70s and lower 80s.
