Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
  • A few coastal showers remain mainly offshore across Northeast Florida this morning with areas of dense fog throughout the Panhandle, Suwannee River Valley, and interior South Florida.
    • These areas of fog will be slow to lift through the morning hours with Dense Fog Advisories set to expire by mid-morning, though may be extended if conditions warrant.
  • Otherwise, partly to mostly sunny skies will prevail statewide today with only a slight chance for an isolated afternoon shower or storm across Central Florida along the afternoon sea breeze boundary (15-20% chance of rain).
  • Activity will remain mostly light and brief in nature, though a locally heavy downpour and subsequent quick 1-2” of rain cannot be ruled out.
  • Center of high pressure will begin to settle across the Peninsula today which will bring an upward trend in temperatures.
  • Highs this afternoon will reach the lower to middle 80s throughout much of the state, the exception being along the immediate East Coast and Panhandle where breezier wind gusts of 15-20 mph at times will keep temperatures a few degrees cooler.
  • Any lingering showers will quickly dissipate after sunset bringing mostly clear and calm conditions overnight.
  • However, plentiful low-level moisture alongside these calm conditions will promote fog and low cloud development statewide tonight.
    • Periods of dense fog are most likely across the Panhandle, Big Bend, and Northeast Florida and Dense Fog Advisories will be issued as conditions warrant.
  • Lows in the upper 50s to middle 60s are expected for much of the state, with upper 60s to lower 70s for Southeast Florida and the Keys.
  • A high risk for rip currents persists for most East Coast beaches; a moderate risk is expected for Southeast and Panhandle beaches.
