Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • Patchy fog and low clouds throughout the state this morning will be quick to lift and dissipate.
  • A near repeat of yesterday can be expected as the area of high pressure over the southeastern U.S. will keep much of the state dry throughout the day and create a combination of sunshine and partly cloudy skies.
  • Onshore winds along the eastern coastline and enough low-level moisture will allow for isolated showers to move onshore this afternoon and evening (15-25% chance of rain).
    • An embedded thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out along portions of the Southeast Florida coast later this afternoon.
  • Breezy wind gusts of 15-20 mph will develop again later this afternoon, especially along the eastern half of the state.
  • High temperatures will remain well into the middle 70s to middle 80s this afternoon throughout the state.
  • Any shower activity that does develop will shift back towards the coastal waters and dissipate later this evening and overnight, but a few brief coastal showers may linger near the coastline overnight (15-25% chance of rain).
  • Low-level moisture and calm winds will bring a greater chance for fog development by Wednesday morning throughout North and Central Florida, with instances of locally dense fog possible.
  • Low temperatures will fall into the middle to upper 50s across North Florida, lower to middle 60s across Central Florida and upper 60s to lower 70s across South Florida.
  • Onshore winds and swells of 3-4' along all Atlantic beaches will create a high risk for rip currents. A moderate risk can be expected for nearly all North Florida beaches.
