Partly Sunny Skies & Limited Rain Chances Across State...Flood Warning for Apalachicola River Continues...Moderate Rip Current Risks Along Atlantic Coast of FL...Tropics Quiet

A weak remnant frontal boundary is located just north of Lake Okeechobee and will begin to lift north into Central Florida as a warm front tonight. High pressure has built into North and Central Florida and will cause another partly cloudy day of limited rain chances statewide. However, moisture values along the East-Central and South Florida coastline may be just high enough to kick off some isolated shower activity for the regions, and rainfall accumulations are not expected to be greater than 0.10 inches. Some of these showers may linger overnight across East-Central and South Florida. Tonight, a low pressure in the western gulf will inch toward the state and may produce isolated showers across the western panhandle just after sunset. Thick cloud cover associated with the low pressure will quickly move into North Florida after midnight and will linger until Sunday. Severe weather is not anticipated today.

High temperatures today will reach the upper 60s to low 70s across the panhandle and Florida Big Bend, mid 70s across Northeast Florida, low 70s across Central Florida, and low 80s across South Florida. Overnight lows will fall to the mid 50s across the western panhandle, low 60s across the Florida Big Bend and Northeast Florida, mid to upper 60s across Central Florida, and low 70s across South Florida.

A flood warning still continues for the Apalachicola River near Blountstown. Minor flooding is occurring as the river slowly falls, and is expected to drop below flood stage early late Saturday night. This warning affects Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf and Liberty Counties and will continue until the river falls below flood stage.

At the Coast, continued long period swells have resulted in a moderate rip current risk for Northeast & East-Central Florida beaches, and for Palm Beach County in Southeast Florida. Low risks exist for all other Florida beaches. The threat will increase across the panhandle this weekend as a low pressure system nears the state.

The National Hurricane Center does not predict the formation of any tropical cyclones within the next 48 hours. Although the tropics remain quiet, there are still about two weeks left for this year's hurricane season. Please continue to stay updated until this year's season is officially over.
