Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Quite the chilly start this morning across North Florida, but conditions will gradually warm up throughout the day.
  • Dry conditions return across the Sunshine State, except for the Treasure Coast through the Florida Keys where a recent cold front remains stalled (20-40% chance of rain).
    • This stalled front will give way to isolated to scattered showers and embedded  thunderstorms throughout the day and into the overnight hours before activity shifts far enough south and east.
    • The heaviest rainfall should remain just south and east of the Southeast Florida coast and Keys, but any heavier rainfall that drifts onshore may lead to nuisance ponding of water for urban areas.
  • After several days of rainy conditions across North and Central Florida, cool and dry conditions return with plenty of sunshine.
  • Longer term drought conditions will continue to lead to locally sensitive wildfire conditions over North Florida even with the recent rainfall.
  • High temperatures will remain in the upper 50s to lower 60s across North Florida, middle 60s to lower 70s across Central Florida and lower to middle 70s across South Florida.
  • Dry conditions can be expected to persist into the overnight hours with a few sparse showers lingering along the Florida Keys (20-35% chance of rain).
  • Mostly clear skies will allow for low temperatures in drop into the lower to middle 30s north of the I-10 corridor and middle 30s to lower 40s south of the I-10 corridor overnight. There may be instances of patchy frost by sunrise Wednesday morning north of the I-10 corridor, and a Frost Advisory will go into effect early Wednesday morning for the northern Suwannee Valley.
    • Central Florida will see low temperatures in the upper 40s to upper 50s and South Florida will see low temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 70s.
  • Breezy onshore winds along the East Coast will create ocean swells of 3-5', with larger wave heights of 5-7' along the Treasure and Southeast Florida coasts, leading to a high risk for rip currents.
    • A moderate risk for rip currents can be expected along numerous Panhandle and West Coast beaches.
