Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
-
low-moving frontal boundary over North Florida and an approaching upper-level disturbance to our northeast will promote the development of scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms today – some of which may be strong to severe and may contain heavy downpours capable of flash flooding.
-
Storm activity today will be scattered to widespread, with the highest coverage (50-80%) in North Florida and along the I-95 Corridor.
-
Within these areas, ample forcing for ascent alongside moderate instability and windshear introduces at least a low-end severe threat, prompting the issuance of a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather.
-
The primary severe threat in this setup will be an isolated risk for gusty severe thunderstorm winds >60mph.
-
Today’s storms will likely initiate in the early-late afternoon and persist well into the overnight hours, especially in the Panhandle, as the front and upper-level disturbance continue to provide adequate lift for storm activity.
-
Outside of North and Eastern Florida, low chances for rain (20-30%) are expected over the West Coast and along the Coastal Panhandle.
-
Rain chances increase for the Northern West Coast overnight as the front begins to sag southward.
-
This activity will be occurring over regions that have seen repeated rounds of heavy rainfall and soil saturation over the past two weeks.
-
Given this, the widespread coverage of storms expected, and the heavy rainfall potential associated with them, a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) of Flash Flooding has also been outlooked over much of the same areas outlined in the severe weather outlook.
-
Forecast rainfall totals are generally between 1-2”, however, a few isolated locations may see upwards of 3-5”, especially in any areas that see multiple rounds of storms or within any training storms.
-
High temperatures will remain in the lower 90s statewide today.
-
Very high humidities will make the outside feel extremely hot and muggy across the entire state. Feels-like temperatures will approach the middle to upper 90s throughout much of the state, with many locations likely exceeding 100 degrees.
-
Low temperatures will fall into the 70s to lower 80s throughout the state.
-
A moderate to high risk of rip currents is expected for East Coast and Panhandle beaches.
-
According to the Florida Forest Service, there are 32 active wildfires across the state burning approximately 14,208 acres.
