Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
 
  • Widespread dense fog covers much of the state this morning from the Suwannee Valley through Lake Okeechobee.
    • Foggy conditions will gradually lift and dissipate throughout the morning hours.
  • A potent but mostly dry cold front will push through North and Central Florida during the daytime hours bringing isolated to widely scattered showers ahead of it (25-55% chance of rain).
    • The best chance for shower activity will be across North Florida as the shower activity will dissipate as the front approaches Central Florida later today.
  • As the front passes through, gusty winds will develop behind it allowing for wind gusts to reach 20-25 mph, possibly higher, and spread throughout North Florida and into Central Florida by the late afternoon hours.
  • High temperatures will reach the upper 60s to upper 70s throughout the state today, with portions of Southeast Florida possibly reaching the lower 80s.
    • The Panhandle and western Big Bend will see their high temperatures this morning and near midday as the front moving through will usher much cooler air in behind it during the daytime hours.
  • This evening and overnight the cold front will continue to push through Central and South Florida remaining mostly dry, but some light sprinkles cannot be ruled out (less than 10% chance of rain).
  • Low temperatures tonight across North Florida will fall into the 30s across North Florida, upper 30s to upper 40s across Central Florida and 50s to lower 60s across South Florida.
  • Ongoing breezy winds overnight and cold temperatures will create feels-like temperatures (wind chills) in the lower to middle 20s across the Panhandle and middle to upper 20s across the Big Bend, Northeast Florida and towards Nature Coast by sunrise Tuesday morning.
    • Cold Weather Advisories (Wind Chill Advisory) will go into effect tonight across the Panhandle and western Big Bend, and there may be a further extension eastward of advisories throughout the day.
    • North-Central Florida can also expect to see feels-like temperatures in the lower to middle 30s.
  • A moderate to high risk for rip currents extends along the Panhandle and East Coast of Florida with increasing wave heights of 2-5associated with a passing cold front.
