Remnants of last night’s thunderstorm complex are lingering across portions of the Panhandle bringing scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms.
Another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected across the Panhandle throughout the day as additional remnant thunderstorm complexes moving through the region (45-75% chance of rain).
Strong to severe thunderstormsmay be embedded within these remnant complexes, and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is outlooking a Marginal to Slight Risk (level 1-2 of 5) for Severe Weatheracross North Florida.
These thunderstorms will be capable of producing frequent lightning, damaging wind gusts (50-60 mph), and locally heavy rainfall.
An embedded tornado or large hail (quarter-size) cannot be ruled out.
There is also a Marginal to Slight Risk (level 1–2 of 4) for Flash Floodingacross North Florida for potential flash flooding with heavy rainfall.
Daily showers and thunderstorms can be expected with the sea breeze as Saharan Dust continues to thin out (35-50% chance of rain).
Warm and muggy conditions can be expected statewide this afternoon as high temperatures reach the upper 80s to middle 90s.

Most activity throughout the state will dissipate with the lack of daytime, but another thunderstorm complex will move into the Panhandle late this evening and overnight then travel along the I-10 (60-80% chance of rain).
Low temperatures will fall into the 70s and lower 80s throughout the state overnight.
