Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Monday, March 3, 2025

Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report

EOC Activation Level: Level 2

Meteorological Summary:

High pressure along the Mid-Atlantic states will continue to dominate across the Southeast U.S. keeping conditions mostly dry throughout the day.
With ongoing dry conditions, sensitive to elevated wildfire conditions can be expected to persist across North and West Florida.

Relative humidity values across the Panhandle are expected to fall below critical thresholds (20-30%) and values across West Florida will approach or fall below critical thresholds (30-40%).
Red Flag conditions are not expected as winds will remain light near 5-10 mph and wind gusts reach near 8-12 mph this afternoon.

A swath of moisture will push into the Southeast Metro from the adjacent Atlantic waters creating a chance for isolated to scattered showers across South Florida this afternoon and evening (20-35% chance of rain).

While thunderstorm chances remain low, an embedded rumble of thunder or two cannot be ruled out.

High temperatures will reach the upper 60s to lower 70s across North Florida, lower to middle 70s across Central Florida and upper 70s to lower 80s across South Florida this afternoon.

Showers across Southeast and South Florida will linger through the evening and early overnight hours as they dissipate or drift offshore; however, isolated showers may hug the eastern coastline throughout the overnight hours (20-30% chance of rain).
Elsewhere across the state, mostly clear and dry conditions will persist into the overnight hours with instances of patchy fog possible early Tuesday morning across interior portions of Northeast Florida and the northern I-75 corridor.
Low temperatures will fall into the upper 40s to lower 50s across North Florida, middle 50s to lower 60s across Central Florida and 60s to lower 70s across South Florida overnight.
A moderate risk to high risk for rip currents can be expected along East Coast beaches with increasing ocean swells of 2-4′. A moderate risk can also be expected for numerous Panhandle beaches.
