Meteorological Summary:
- Dense Fog Advisories are scattered the Suwannee Valley, Nature Coast and western Peninsula as visibility has been reduced to ¼ of a mile or less.
- Foggy conditions throughout the state will linger through the mid-to-late morning hours before dissipating.
- A strong cold front will make its way along the I-10 corridor throughout the day bringing isolated showers and thunderstorms along its boundary (20-40% chance of rain).
- The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is outlooking a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for Severe Weather across the I-10 corridor and throughout North Florida as isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may be capable of producing lightning, damaging wind gusts (50-60 mph), an isolated tornado or two and small hail.
- As the cold front continues to make its way towards Central Florida late this evening and overnight it will begin to lose its moisture content, and severe weather is not expected (15-35 chance of rain).
- Cooler and drier conditions will follow behind the frontal boundary across the western Panhandle as it continues to push southward.
- Areas of patchy to locally dense fog will likely develop overnight and early Florida morning across the Peninsula.
- Remember to use low beam lights and keep a safe distance when traveling.
- High temperatures will reach the 70s across North Florida and low to middle 80s across Central and South Florida.
- A moderate risk for rip currents can be expected along all Panhandle beaches due to wave heights of 2-4′. Several East Coast beaches can expect a moderate to high risk for rip currents.
