Areas of fog will dissipate leading to mostly dry conditions across the state during the morning hours as a frontal boundary shifts over and stalls over the I-4 corridor.
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop across the eastern Peninsula this afternoon as moisture pools ahead of the front and the sea breeze moves inland (40-70% chance of rain).
Embedded within shower and thunderstorm activity may be isolated strong to severe thunderstorms across East-Central and Southeast Florida – Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for Severe Weather.
These thunderstorms may be capable of producing frequent lightning, damaging wind gusts (50-60 mph), large hail (quarter-size) and locally heavy downpours.
An embedded tornado or two along the sea breeze cannot be ruled out.
Organized flash flooding is not expected; however, slow-moving thunderstorms or repeated rounds of heavy rainfall could lead to instances of localized flash flooding or ponding of water across urban and low-lying/poor drainage areas.
Widespread rainfall totals of 1-2″ can be expected across East-Central and Southeast Florida, with locally higher totals upwards of 3-5″ possible.
Sensitive wildfire conditions will persist throughout the state with ongoing drought conditions and increased lightning potential from thunderstorms.
High temperatures will reach the lower to middle 80s across the Panhandle and middle 80s to lower 90s across the Peninsula this afternoon.
Shower and thunderstorm activity will move offshore and dissipate during the late evening and overnight hours, but a few showers may linger into the early morning hours along the Southeast Florida coast (15-30% chance of rain).
Instances of fog may be possible early Tuesday morning across the Suwannee Valley and interior South Florida.
Low temperatures will fall into the middle 50s to lower 60s across North Florida, middle to upper 60s across Central Florida and upper 60s to lower 70s across South Florida overnight.
A moderate risk for rip currents can be expected along Panhandle, Northeast and East-Central Florida beaches.
