Dense Fog Advisories remain effect across interior portions of South Florida this morning until 8:00 AM EST as dense fog and low clouds will create reduced visibility.
Widespread rainfall stretches across North Florida as a weak Gulf Low moves eastward across the central gulf waters, and shower activity will eventually spread into Central Florida later today (70-near 100% chance of rain).
Thunderstorm activity will be very limited; however, an instance of a rumble of thunder or embedded thunderstorm cannot be ruled out later this afternoon near and along the I-4 corridor.
Nuisance flooding and ponding of water may be possible with repeated rounds of shower activity over urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas.
Breezy wind gusts upwards of 10-15 mph will develop across the state, with stronger wind gusts upwards of 20 mph along portions of the Panhandle and Gulf Coast this afternoon.
As the low moves across the Peninsula then re-emerges off the Florida East Coast, a strong cold front associated with the system will drag southward across the state.
Shower activity will weaken and dissipate as the cold front moves south of the I-4 corridor later this afternoon and throughout the evening hours, but isolated showers will remain possible across portions of South Florida (10-30% chance of rain).
High temperatures will reach the middle to upper 50s to low 60s across North Florida and upper 70s to middle 80s across Central and South Florida this afternoon.
Low temperatures will fall near and below freezing (30-33-degrees) across the Panhandle, with the rest of North Florida seeing low temperatures in the upper 30s to middle 40s.
Cold air rushing in overnight will create feels-like temperatures, or wind chills, in the upper teens tolower 20s across the western Panhandle, lower to middle 20s across the eastern Panhandle and upper 20s to lower 30s across the western Big Bend by sunrise Thursday morning.
Cold Weather Advisories will go into effect tonight across the Panhandle for wind chills as low as 10-17-degress expected by sunrise Thursday morning.
