Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
- Fog and low clouds are scattered throughout the state, with Dense Fog Advisories in effect through the mid-morning hours across much of North Florida.
- Foggy conditions and low clouds should gradually lift and dissipate throughout the morning hours, but instances of sea fog may linger over the coastal waters and along the West-Central Florida coastline into the afternoon.
- Yesterday’s cold front will eventually stall over North Florida near the state line throughout the daytime hours before lifting northward as a warm front this evening and tonight.
- Moisture ahead of the frontal boundary and the development of the sea breeze across the Peninsula will allow for isolated to widely scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms to develop from the I-75 corridor and throughout the Peninsula (10-35% chance of rain).
- Severe weather is not expected, but locally strong thunderstorms may be possible during the peak heating hours of the day near and along the sea breeze collision. These thunderstorms may be capable of producing lightning, gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall.
- High temperatures will climb into the middle to upper 80s and lower 90s across the state this afternoon.
- Any showers and thunderstorms that develop with the sea breeze may linger through the evening hours before pushing offshore and dissipating. A few isolated showers over Northeast Florida may continue overnight as the warm front lifts northward (15-25% chance of rain).
- Calm conditions and lingering moisture will give way to fog development and low clouds overnight and early Wednesday morning, with locally dense fog possible especially across West Florida.
- Low temperatures will fall into the middle to upper 60s and lower 70s throughout the state.
- A moderate to high risk for rip currents can be expected along Florida Panhandle beaches due to onshore winds. A moderate risk for rip currents also extends across numerous East Coast beaches through the Space Coast.
