Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Dense Fog Advisories are in effect across the Panhandle this morning and will remain in effect until mid-morning as the fog slowly burns off after sunrise.
  • Otherwise, yet another sunny and dry day is expected statewide today with high-pressure firmly anchored across the Gulf states.
  • Relative humidities will dip to near or below critical thresholds (25-35%) throughout interior portions of the Panhandle and Northeast Florida this afternoon.
  • Elevated wildfire conditions are likely to persist given these dry conditions and ongoing extreme to exceptional drought (level 3-4 of 4).
  • Winds will finally begin to subside across the Peninsula today, though may still gust upwards of 20 mph across the eastern Peninsula. Any active wildfires may experience blowing smoke as a result.
  • Highs will climb well into the middle 80s to lower 90s across interior portions of the state, with the coastal Panhandle and East Coast remaining a few degrees cooler.
  • Clear and calm conditions will prevail overnight.
  • Low temperatures will dip into the middle to upper 50s in North Florida, upper 50s to middle 60s in Central Florida, and lower 60s to lower 70s in South Florida.
  • Areas of patchy dense fog are expected to develop throughout the Panhandle and Big Bend tonight, which may prompt additional Dense Fog Advisories as warranted.
  • A moderate to high risk for rip currents is expected for most Panhandle and all East Coast beaches today.
