Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • A cold and breezy start this morning across North Florida courtesy of yesterday's cold front bringing much colder air southward into the state.
  • Wind Advisories remain in effect this morning until 9:00 AM EST along the Florida East Coast due to ongoing breezy and gusty winds of 15-20 mph and gusts upwards of 35-40 mph.
  • High pressure extending over the state will lead to mostly dry conditions, except along the Space Coast through the Southeast Florida Coast where onshore winds and an upper-level feature may bring isolated showers onshore (15-35% chance of rain).
  • Breezy wind gusts will linger throughout the day before gradually subsiding along North Florida.
    • Central and South Florida will continue to see elevated wind gusts of 15-25 mph, with stronger wind gusts of 25-35 mph across South Florida where a Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7:00 PM EST.
  • High temperatures will struggle to reach 50-degrees across North Florida with coastal areas possibly reaching the lower 50s.
    • Central Florida will see high temperatures in the 60s and South Florida will see high temperatures in the 70s.
  • Dry conditions will mostly persist into the overnight, but lingering breezy onshore winds may bring isolated showers onshore towards the I-95 corridor (15-20% chance of rain).
  • Clear skies will allow for temperatures tonight fall into the middle 20s to lower 30s across North Florida, middle 30s to upper 40s across Central Florida and 50s to middle 60s across South Florida.
    • Freeze Warnings will go into effect tonight for portions of the Panhandle and Northeast Florida.
  • Calmer winds overnight will keep wind chills (feels-like temperatures) near the actual temperatures overnight and into Tuesday morning; however, frost development is possible throughout North Florida by sunrise.
  • A high risk for rip currents extends nearly statewide due to breezy winds and large ocean swells. A moderate risk continues for portions of the Panhandle.
    • High Surf Advisories remain in effect along the East Coast due to large ocean swells of 5-9' leading to dangerous beach and boating conditions.
