Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Drier air will begin to filter into the state today as area of high pressure builds across the western Atlantic, nosing into South Florida and the southern Gulf.
  • As such, afternoon sea breeze activity will be more isolated to scattered in nature today across the state (25-50% chance of rain). The focus for afternoon activity is expected to be across the Big Bend and interior Southwest Florida.
  • Any thunderstorm activity could become locally strong and capable of producing lightning, gusty winds (30-50 mph), and torrential downpours.
  • Rainfall amounts will generally remain below 1” for most locations, however locally higher totals upwards of 2-3” cannot be ruled out in areas that receive repeated rounds of heavy rain.
  • High temperatures will reach into the upper 80s to middle 90s statewide. Combined with the humidity, afternoon feels-like temperatures will reach or exceed 100-degrees across much of the state.
  • The hottest conditions are expected throughout the Peninsula where localized areas will see heat indices in the middle to upper 100s. Heat Advisories may be issued later this afternoon should conditions warrant.
  • Tonight, any shower or thunderstorm activity will linger into the evening before dissipating or pushing offshore (15-30% chance of rain).
  • Lows will fall into the middle 70s to lower 80s statewide bringing little relief from the daytime heat.
  • Areas of patchy fog cannot be ruled out across interior Northeast Florida by daybreak Tuesday.
  • A moderate to high risk for rip currents is expected for all Panhandle and Northeast Florida beaches today.
  • River Flood Warnings remain in effect for the Escambia River, Blackwater River,  and Shoal River. Each is currently in or expected to crest into minor flood stage early this week before diminishing to Action Stage by mid-week.
  • According to the Florida Forest Service, there are 44 active wildfires across the state burning approximately 27,564 acres.
  • Tropical cyclone activity is not expected during the next 7 days in the Atlantic.
