Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • A Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10:00 AM EST for interior Southwest Florida where locally dense fog has developed this morning.
  • Otherwise, a relatively dry and warm start to the weekend is expected today across the state.
  • A weak upper-level disturbance may induce a few light showers over the western Panhandle this morning (25-35% chance of rain), however activity is expected to diminish through the morning.
  • Similarly, a few showers, some of which could be locally strong, may drift along the Southeast Florida coast throughout the day (15-25% chance of rain).
    • If any of these heavier showers do move onshore, a few locally heavy downpours cannot be ruled out.
    • Many locations will see little rainfall from this activity. However, local rainfall totals upwards of 3" cannot be ruled out if any slow-moving heavy showers push inland.
  • High temperatures will climb into the middle 70s to middle 80s for much of the state this afternoon, with upper 60s across the western Panhandle.
  • A few brief sprinkles cannot be ruled out in these regions early this evening (15-20% chance of rain), with a dry night expected elsewhere.
  • Low-level moisture and light winds will promote another night of locally dense fog across West-Central and Southwest Florida and Dense Fog Advisories may be issued if conditions warrant.
  • Low temperatures will reach the lower to middle 50s across North Florida and upper 50s to lower 60s in South Florida. Coastal Southeast Florida will only reach the upper 60s to lower 70s.
  • A moderate to high risk for rip currents is expected for most Panhandle and East Coast beaches today.
