EOC Activation Level: Level 2
Meteorological Summary:
- Southeasterly winds will continue to pull moisture northward allowing for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop throughout the day (60-90% chance of rain).
- Daytime heating and the daily sea breeze moving inland will allow for showers and thunderstorms to develop, some of which may become locally strong to severe.
- Any thunderstorm may be capable of producing frequent lightning, gusty winds and torrential downpours.
- There is no organized risk for flash flooding; however, slow-moving thunderstorms or repeated rounds of torrential downpours could lead to localized flash flooding and ponding of water.
- Saharan Dry Air approaching South Florida may limit thunderstorm activity and keep activity more scattered in nature compared to the last few days.
- High temperatures will reach the upper 90s to middle 90s across the state by the afternoon hours.
- Feels-like temperatures will reach the upper 90s to triple digits (100-105-degrees) throughout the state, with the warmest values across the Suwannee Valley and West-Central Florida.
- The sea breeze will fall back towards the coast and shower and thunderstorm activity will gradually dissipate and move back towards the coast.
- A few showers or embedded thunderstorms may linger along the coastal waters and immediate coastlines overnight (25-45% chance of rain).
- Low temperatures will fall into the 70s and lower 80s overnight.
- A moderate risk for rip currents can be expected for numerous Panhandle beaches, as well as all East Coast beaches with persistent onshore flow.
- Both the Big Coldwater Creek near Milton and Escambia River near Century have fall below flood stage and continue to see water levels decline through Action Stage (bank-full).
