Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

Meteorological Summary:

High pressure along the eastern seaboard of the U.S. will continue nosing into the local area today, bringing mostly sunny skies and dry conditions to much of the Sunshine State.
Very marginal moisture will linger along the immediate East Coast today where a few light showers may push onshore this afternoon (15-20% chance of rain), though any activity will be brief in nature.
The easterly flow is expected to persist throughout the state today, with breezy wind gusts upwards of 25-30 mph throughout the Peninsula this afternoon.
Relative humidities will dip near or below critical thresholds (25-35%) throughout North Florida this afternoon which, paired with ongoing extreme to exceptional drought (level 3-4 of 4), will lead to elevated wildfire danger.
High temperatures will climb into the lower to middle 80s throughout the state away from the coast, with 70s along the Panhandle coastline and East Coast. A few locations across Northeast Florida and along the I-75 corridor may reach the upper 80s or even 90-degrees.
A mostly clear and calm night is expected across the state.
These clear skies will promote patchy fog development across Northeast and North-Central Florida, some of which could become locally dense.
Low temperatures will dip into the middle to upper 50s across North Florida, upper 50s to lower 60s in Central Florida, and middle 60s to lower 70s in South Florida.
A high risk for rip currents is expected for all East Coast beaches today where surf of 4-6' will linger. Palm Beach County will see locally higher surf upwards of 8' and a High Surf Advisory remains in effect.
