Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Dense Fog Advisories remain in effect until 10:00 AM EST across Central Florida and the adjacent Gulf coastal waters for areas of patchy dense fog that will slowly dissipate.
    • Some areas of fog may linger longer, especially near the coast, and extensions of the Dense Fog Advisories cannot be ruled out.
  • A mostly sunny day is expected for both North and South Florida where chances of rain will remain near zero.
  • Across Central Florida, a weak frontal boundary will remain draped over the region promoting cloudy skies and an isolated chance of a shower this afternoon (20-30% chance of rain).
  • To the north of this front, drier air will filter into the state with relative humidities dipping to near critical thresholds, mainly north of the I-10 corridor (30-40% RH values).
    • Given the ongoing severe to extreme drought, this will encourage elevated wildfire conditions this afternoon.
  • Highs will reach the 70s for much of the state this afternoon, with areas of coastal Northeast Florida staying in the middle to upper 60s and interior South Florida creeping into the lower 80s.
  • A few isolated showers may linger along the Treasure Coast this evening before clearing overnight (15-25% chance of rain).
  • Another round of patchy fog and low clouds is expected across Central and South Florida tonight, especially along the Gulf-facing coasts and adjacent interior locations where areas of dense fog cannot be ruled out.
  • Lows will cool off into the lower to middle 40s across North Florida, middle 50s in Central Florida, and upper 50s to lower 60s in South Florida.
  • A moderate risk for rip currents is expected for all Panhandle and East Coast beaches today.
