EOC Activation Level: Level 2
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
- Foggy conditions across the state will gradually lift and dissipate across the state throughout the morning.
-
An upper-level feature moving towards and into North Florida has brough some isolated shower activity this morning, and this shower activity will continue throughout the morning and into the early afternoon (20-30% chance of rain).
- For the rest of the state, dry conditions can be expected to persist as shower activity will really struggle to make it further south.
-
Pockets of dry air throughout the interior Peninsula will lead to relative humidity values falling near critical thresholds (35-40%) this afternoon.
- Slightly more elevated wind gusts will return across North Florida this afternoon reaching 10-15 mph, but by the late afternoon hours the Suwannee Valley could see gusts upwards of 20 mph.
- As warm and dry conditions persist, along with the ongoing drought, elevated wildfire conditions will also persist.
- High temperatures will warm up into the 70s throughout the state this afternoon and possibly eclipse 80-degrees in some spots.
- A cold front will push through North Florida this evening and overnight bringing an additional round of brief showers (15-25% chance of rain).
-
Low-level moisture moving onshore and inland from the coastal waters, along with calm winds will allow for fog development overnight and into Thursday morning.
- Instances of locally dense fog cannot be ruled out.
- Foggy conditions combined with ongoing smoke from wildfires will further reduce visibilities, and caution should be advised during the morning commute.
- Low temperatures will fall into the 50s across the state, with coastal areas seeing low temperatures near the lower 60s.
- Lingering long-period ocean swells upwards of 3' will continue to create a moderate to high risk for rip currents along the East Coast.
- Panhandle beaches will maintain a moderate risk as well.
