Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • Dense Fog Advisories will remain in effect until mid-morning for West-Central Florida before fog and low clouds slowly lift and dissipate. Some areas of fog may linger longer, especially near the coast.
  • A mostly sunny day is expected across the state as high pressure briefly settles across the Southeast U.S.
  • Relative humidities will dip below critical thresholds this afternoon (20-30% RH values) across North Florida. Given the ongoing severe to extreme drought, this will encourage elevated wildfire conditions this afternoon.
    • Locally greater wildfire risk cannot be ruled out, especially north of the I-10 corridor.
    • Elevated conditions can also be expected across Central and South Florida in areas experiencing the most severe drought.
  • Highs will reach the 70s for much of the state this afternoon, with areas of coastal North Florida staying in the middle to upper 60s and interior South Florida creeping into the lower 80s.
  • Dry conditions will continue to prevail overnight with clear skies.
  • 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.
    • Foggy conditions combined with ongoing smoke from wildfires will further reduce visibilities, and caution should be advised during the morning commute.
  • Lows will cool off into the lower to middle 40s across North Florida, upper 40s to 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.
