Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Another chilly morning throughout much of North Florida with many locations waking up in the upper 30s to middle 40s.
  • A few showers are also ongoing across the Florida Keys but will continue exiting southward through the morning (20-30% chance of rain).
  • Temperatures will quickly warm as the sun rises, giving way to a sunny and dry day statewide.
  • Very dry air will filter throughout the state today, with the lowest relative humidities throughout North and Central Florida (20-35% RH values).
  • Breezy winds with gusts upwards of 25-35 mph will overlap these critically low relative humidities across Northeast and Central Florida where a Red Flag Warning is in effect until 8 PM EDT for critical wildfire danger.
  • Elsewhere across the state, elevated wildfire conditions are expected given the ongoing drought and still very dry conditions.
  • High temperatures will climb into the upper 70s to middle 80s statewide.
  • Winds will become light across much of the state tonight, though some breezy gusts upwards of 20-25 mph will linger along the Southeast coast.
  • Relative humidities are expected to quickly recover above critical thresholds overnight, which will help with any wildfire suppression efforts.
  • Low temperatures will dip into the lower to middle 50s across much of interior North Florida tonight, with upper 50s to middle 60s across the rest of the state. The coastal Southeast metro and Keys will remain in the 70s.
  • A high risk for rip currents is expected along the East Coast today with surf of 5-8'. A High Surf Advisory is in effect along Palm Beach County for locally higher waves. 
  • A moderate risk for rip currents is outlooked along most Panhandle beaches today.
