Dense Fog Advisorieswill continue through the mid-morning hours across the Florida Panhandle with additional instances of patchy to locally dense fog throughout the state also lifting and dissipating by the mid-morning hours.
A dry cold front attempting to sink into North Florida will help to reinforce dry conditions with the help of high pressure settling in over the Mississippi Valley.
Light northerly to northwesterly winds will bring drier air southward allowing relative humidity values throughout interior North and Central Florida will drop near and below critical thresholds this afternoon (20-35%).
Sensitive tolocally elevated wildfire conditionswill develop this afternoon across interior North and Central Florida.
Throughout the afternoon and into the evening hours, the sea breeze will develop and push inland generating isolated showers and thunderstorms, some locally strong, across the southern Peninsula and portions of the Keys (10-20% chance of rain).
With thunderstorms developing over these dry areas of South Florida, locally sensitive wildfire conditionscannot be ruled.
High temperatures this afternoon will reach the middle to upper 70s to lower to middle 80s this afternoon across the state.
Any showers and thunderstorms that develop across South Florida and the Keys will generally move southwestward towards the adjacent coastal waters late this evening and into the overnight hours.
Instances of patchy fogmay be possible overnight and into early Thursday morning.
Numerous beaches across the Panhandle and East Coast can expect a moderate risk for rip currentsto persist throughout the day.
