Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • Areas of dense fog have developed across much of the Panhandle and Big Bend this morning and will linger through the mid-morning hours before dissipating.
    • Dense Fog Advisories will remain in effect until mid to late this morning for land areas, with some sea fog persisting along the local Panhandle waters through the day.
  • Otherwise, high pressure will continue to dominate the local pattern today bringing sunny and dry conditions.
  • A slight chance of an isolated shower or brief sprinkle exists across coastal Southeast Florida today (15-20% chance of rain) aided by breezy winds gusts upwards of 20 mph that may bring them ashore off the Atlantic.
  • Warm and dry conditions will continue to worsen drought conditions which may lead to locally sensitive wildfire conditions across much of the state today, despite relative humidities remaining above critical thresholds.
  • High temperatures will climb into the middle to upper 70s across North Florida this afternoon, with a few lower 80s possible. Upper 70s to lower 80s can be expected in Central and South Florida.
  • Clear and calm conditions will prevail overnight outside of a few lingering sprinkles across coastal Southeast Florida (15-20% chance of rain).
  • Lingering low-level moisture and warmer temperatures will promote low cloud and patchy fog development overnight and towards daybreak Thursday morning.
    • Locally dense fog is likely to develop across the Panhandle and Big Bend and Dense Fog Advisories will be issued as conditions warrant tonight.
  • Low temperatures will dip into the lower to middle 50s across much of the state tonight, as far south as Lake Okeechobee. Lows will only reach the middle 60s to lower 70s across coastal Southeast Florida and the Florida Keys.
  • A moderate risk for rip currents is expected for all Panhandle and East Coast beaches today, with a local high risk over coastal Southeast Florida.
