Widespread dense fog has developed this morning throughout North and Central Florida, and Dense Fog Advisories are in effect through the mid-morning hours.
Additional areas of patchy to locally dense fog have developed this morning across the rest of the Peninsula.
Foggy conditions and low clouds should slowly lift and dissipate throughout the morning hours, but use caution when traveling this morning.
Abundant moisture flowing ahead of the next approaching cold front will increase rain chances across the state throughout the day creating isolated to widely scattered showers with possible embedded thunderstorms (15-40% chance of rain).
The active weather pattern across the eastern Peninsula will continue today with the upper-level disturbance creating scattered to numerous showers with embedded thunderstorms (40-70% chance of rain).
Severe weather is not expected today; however, a locally strong thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out this afternoon and evening.
The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) is outlooking a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4) for Flash Flooding along the Treasure and Southeast Florida coast as locally heavy downpours may lead to instances of flash flooding for urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas.
Above normal high temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s will continue throughout the state this afternoon.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms will linger into the overnight hours as the cold front continues to approach North Florida (25-55% chance of rain).
Calm conditions and abundant moisture will give way to another round of widespread fog statewide, with locally dense fog possible throughout portions of the Big Bend, Northeast and Central Florida early Thursday morning.
East-Central and Southeast Florida beaches will continue to see a high risk for rip currents with stronger onshore winds and elevated surf. North Florida beaches can expect a moderate risk for rip currents.
