EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
- Dense Fog Advisories extend nearly statewide this morning as widespread dense fog has developed and will continue to linger through the morning hours.
- Use caution when driving this morning by providing enough space between cars and using low beams.
- A lingering frontal boundary draped near the I-4 corridor will allow for brief sprinkles or event spotty showers this afternoon and evening for interior portions of Central and South Florida (10-20% chance of rain).
- Mostly dry conditions can be expected across the rest of the state as high pressure settles in over the eastern gulf waters.
- While foggy conditions across inland areas will dissipate after the morning hours, areas along the immediate coastline and coastal waters across the Peninsula could see sea fog redevelop later this afternoon.
- High temperatures will be above normal for this time of year reaching the middle 70s to middle 80s this afternoon.
- Conditions will be favorable again this evening and overnight for widespread fog to develop across the state, with areas of dense fog likely.
- Foggy conditions will likely develop first along the coastal waters and then spread inland this evening and overnight.
- Dense Fog Advisories will likely be needed again early Tuesday morning for dense fog and low clouds reducing visibility.
- Low temperatures will be in the 50s across North Florida and 60s throughout Central and South Florida.
- This week is Florida Severe Weather Awareness Week, which provides the opportunity for Floridians to learn about the various weather hazards that frequently impact the state and how they can prepare. Each day has a different weather hazard and today is lightning. Lightning is one of nature’s deadliest and most unpredictable weather phenomena. In 2024, over 15 million lightning strikes were recorded in Florida, and Florida ranks #1 on lightning strikes per square mile on average. Florida’s geography plays a large role, especially during the summer for thunderstorm development.
