Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Monday, March 23rd, 2026

• Foggy conditions this morning will give way to ample sunshine and another warm afternoon statewide; a few interior Florida Big Bend locations make a run toward the 90-degree mark.
• Wind gusts of 15-25 mph will be possible across North Florida during the peak heating hours of the day.
• The recent uptick in wildfire activity and brush burns across North Florida and southern Georgia will result in continued haze and smoke over portions of the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend; air quality will likely degrade through the afternoon and evening hours.
• Weak frontal boundary will move southward tonight with little to no fanfare aside from a stray shower or two along the Northeast Florida coastline (10-25% chance of rain).
• The combination of very dry conditions and low relative humidity values (30-40%) will result in another day of sensitive to locally elevated wildfire conditions statewide.
• Fog and low clouds likely across Central and Southwest Florida, with computer forecast models suggesting the greatest chance of locally dense fog residing along the I-4 corridor through the Tuesday morning commute.
• A moderate risk of rip currents can be expected for many Florida Panhandle and East Coast beaches, locally high risk conditions for Gulf County and Palm Beach County coastlines.
