Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Tuesday, December 17th, 2024

Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
  • Patchy to widespread fog has developed this morning throughout North and Central Florida, with dense fog across Northeast Florida, and conditions will linger through the mid-morning hours.
    • Be sure to use caution when driving this morning and use low beams.
  • High pressure will shift eastward towards the western Atlantic waters ahead of the next approaching cold front moving over the Central U.S.
  • An upper-level feature moving overhead along the Panhandle and Big Bend may bring isolated showers late this morning and into the afternoon, but overall mostly dry conditions can be expected for the Panhandle (10-25% chance of rain).
  • Scattered showers will develop throughout the day over the Atlantic waters and push inland along the East Coast and I-95 corridor throughout the day, with embedded thunderstorms possible, due to onshore winds and an upper-level disturbance developing to the north of the Caribbean (35-70% chance of rain).
  • The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) is outlooking a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for Flash Flooding along the Space and Treasure Coasts as multiple rounds of shower activity, some of which may be slow-moving, may lead to instances of localized flash flooding for urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas.
  • High temperatures will continue to trend above normal reaching the upper 70s to low 80s across the state. Portions of the western Peninsula could see high temperatures approach the middle 80s this afternoon.
  • Shower and embedded thunderstorm activity will likely continue into the overnight hours along the I-95 corridor and eastern Florida, with possible showers spreading further inland across the Peninsula (30-65% chance of rain).
  • Calm conditions and elevated moisture will likely give way to another round of patchy to scattered fog throughout North and Central Florida, with areas of locally dense fog possible at times early Wednesday morning.
  • East Coast beaches will continue to see a high risk for rip currents due to onshore winds and elevated surf near 4-6′. Several Panhandle beaches will continue to see a moderate risk for rip currents.
