Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report for Sunday, April 20, 2025
Florida State Watch Office Morning Situation Report EOC Activation Level: Level 2 Meteorological Summary: Warm and dry conditions can be expected to persist across the Sunshine State today as high pressure over the western Atlantic holds in place (near-zero chance of rain). Ongoing dry conditions will allow for relative humidity values throughout the western Peninsula and along the I-75 corridor to fall near and below critical thresholds this afternoon (30-35%) creating sensitive to elevated wildfire conditions. Wind gusts throughout the Peninsula will increase to 15-20 mph by the late morning hours and continue through the afternoon, with stronger wind gusts
