EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
- Areas of patchy dense fog have developed across East-Central Florida this morning and will slowly dissipate by mid-morning.
- With warmer temperatures expected, the sea breezes across South Florida will reawaken this afternoon and push inland, which may promote a few isolated to widely scattered showers to develop (15-30% chance of rain).
- While widespread activity is not expected, some of this activity could be locally strong, slow moving, and lead to localized nuisance flooding and ponding of water.
- Rainfall totals will remain meager for most locations, however localized totals in excess of 3" cannot be ruled out in areas that receive slow-moving heavy downpours.
- A few light coastal showers will remain pinned along the East Coast this afternoon as well, however activity is expected to remain confined to the coastal waters or east of the I-95 corridor (near 15% chance of rain).
- A few isolated showers may also develop across the far western Panhandle by the evening hours ahead of the next frontal system (20-30% chance of rain).
- Breezy winds with gusts upwards of 30 mph are possible this afternoon along the Northeast Florida coastline.
- Highs will climb into the middle 70s to lower 80s throughout Central and South Florida, while North Florida will be cooler with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
- A few locations across South Florida could reach the middle to upper 80s this afternoon.
- Temperatures continue to moderate tonight, with lows in the middle 50s to lower 60s across North Florida and lower to upper 60s throughout Central and South Florida.
- A few showers may linger into the evening across South Florida, though will quickly dissipate before midnight (15-25% chance of rain).
- Scattered showers will begin to spread across the western Panhandle late this evening and overnight (40-60% chance of rain).
- Additional fog and low cloud development is expected by daybreak Sunday across the Big Bend, West-Central Florida, and Southwest Florida, some of which could be locally dense.
- A moderate to high risk for rip currents is expected for all Panhandle and East Coast beaches today.
