Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

Meteorological Summary:

A large area of high pressure is settling in overtop Florida, keeping most of the state hot and dry today.
Chances of rain will be unseasonably low as the high pressure and dry airmass both act to suppress typical afternoon sea breeze driven convection.
The only exception to this will be in extreme South FL and the Keys (40-70% chance for rain) where a marginally moist airmass remains, allowing for some afternoon showers and thunderstorms to develop.
Otherwise, the main concern across the state this today will be continued sensitive wildfire conditions.
This is especially true across North-Central FL, where we are expecting afternoon low minimum relative humidity values between 35-40% - which will be significantly below-average for this time of year even if it does not quite exceed critical thresholds.
The fire weather threat is still marginal overall, as wind gusts today will max out at only around 15-20mph and fuels remain largely saturated from recent heavy rainfall.

However, hot and dry conditions overlapping with areas that have been subjected to long-term drought conditions, and that saw multiple wildfire reignitions/new ignitions yesterday afternoon, invites the need for some fire weather awareness today.

High temperatures across most of the state today will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.The East Coast will remain a little cooler, with highs in the low to mid 80s as easterly onshore flow helps modulate afternoon high temperatures.
Lows will generally be in the upper 60s to lower 70s tonight.
Easterly onshore winds will bring a high risk for rip currents for most Panhandle and all East Coast beaches today. A low risk remains in effect for all West Coast beaches.
According to the Florida Forest Service, there are 31 active wildfires across the state burning approximately 7,259 acres.
