Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2 
Meteorological Summary:
 
  • Dry conditions across the Florida Panhandle and along the Florida West Coast north of Tampa could enhance any wildfire activity that develops this afternoon.
  • Breezy northeasterly winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph along the Florida East Coast and over inland areas east of the Florida Turnpike could increase the spread of wildfire activity. 
  • Increased moisture levels after sunset will support patchy fog development across North Florida and interior portions of Central Florida north of Interstate 4. This fog, if mixed with smoke from nearby wildfires, could result in isolated pockets of highly reduced visibility on roadways. 
  • Breezy northeast winds and long period swells will lead to a high risk for rip currents along northeast Florida beaches south to the Space Coast. A moderate risk is for Panhandle and southeast Florida beaches with a low risk for western Florida beaches.
