CURRENT SITUATION AND WEATHER UPDATE


Florida Weather LoopHumidity Levels Gradually Rising over the Peninsula... Storms Along The Frontal Line Continues To Weaken... Possible Redevelopment... Still Under a Slight Risk of Severe Weather Tonight over the Panhandle... Increased Threat of Rip Currents along Majority of Florida Beaches...

Updated at 5:30 PM EDT Thursday

Humidity levels have increased since the last couple of days. Fire weather conditions are much less critical. No fire watches are in effect for Florida, No Red Flag Warnings are expected to be in effect. Relative humidity will be in the 70%-80% during the night along the Central Eastern Florida Coast, so, better than the last couple of nights. Winds will be coming from the South-southeast for tonight across Central Florida, from the south tomorrow morning. Moisture continues to push in. Next front will continue to elevated precipitation chances for Saturday.

Thunderstorm IconTornado watches posted for Western counties have now expired. Storms are still possible across the Big Bend Region and Northern Florida throughout the night. Few of these storms may still be strong and possibly severe. The Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a slight risk of severe weather through this evening from the Apalachicola River westward and a slight risk of severe weather Friday over the Big Bend and Northeast Florida. The primary threat will be damaging wind gusts, but an isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out. There will also be an increased threat of rip currents along the northern Gulf Coast as southerly winds increase ahead of the approaching system. A small craft advisory is in effect for the Eastern Florida Coast, from Flagler Beach to the Jupiter inlet.

An area of high pressure centered off the coast of the Carolinas will continue to provide southeasterly winds today over the Florida Peninsula. Winds will not be as breezy as they were over the past few days, but 10-15 mph winds are expected, with higher gusts possible along the Florida East Coast. Humidity level will continue to increase; however, conditions will remain dry as no rainfall is expected over peninsular Florida until Friday or Saturday, and rain chances on those days are small. The breezy conditions along the Atlantic side of the peninsula will create a moderate to high threat of rip currents along the beaches of Northeast, East Central, and Southeast Florida.

A small craft advisory is in effect for the Eastern Florida Coast, from Flagler Beach to the Jupiter inlet until 10PM EDT.

For tonight low temperatures will drop into the upper 60s across inland regions of the Peninsula and in the lower 70s around the both coastal areas. Tomorrow low 80s across Northern Florida, in the upper 80s for Central Florida and in the low 90s in South Florida.

Smoke in the vicinity of any ongoing wildfires may lead to reduced visibilities in some areas during the overnight hours.

Residents and visitors to the state should remain extremely cautious when conducting outdoor activities. Floridians should make sure that their homes and communities are Firewise to combat the increasingly dangerous fire conditions that will likely persist through the end of May.
