Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • Fog and low clouds throughout Northeast and East-Central Florida, some of which is locally dense, will be slow to lift and dissipate through the morning hours with the rising sun.
    • Areas of sea fog along the Gulf-facing shores may linger into the afternoon.
  • Otherwise, a near repeat of yesterday is expected as high pressure centered over the local Atlantic waters keeps mostly dry conditions in place.
  • Easterly onshore flow is expected around this area of high pressure along the East Coast, with a few breezy wind gusts upwards of 20 mph expected this afternoon.
  • This onshore flow will also help to keep some low-level moisture around throughout South Florida where an isolated shower or two is possible (15-30% chance of rain).
    • These showers will likely be light and brief in nature, however an embedded thunderstorm and rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out along the Southeast Florida coastline.
  • Relative humidity values are expected to remain well above critical thresholds this afternoon given low-level moisture, though pockets of drier conditions may develop across interior North Florida. 
  • High temperatures will reach the lower to middle 80s throughout much of the state, with cooler conditions along the Northeast Florida coastline.
  • A few brief showers may linger near the Southeast Florida coastline overnight (15-30% chance of rain).
  • Low-level moisture and calm winds throughout North and Central Florida will lead to widespread fog developing by early Thursday morning, with instances of locally dense fog possible.
  • Low temperatures will fall into the upper 50s to lower 60s across North Florida, middle 60s across Central Florida and upper 60s to lower 70s in South Florida overnight.
  • 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 Panhandle beaches.
