- High temperatures will be in the upper 60s to middle 70s across North Florida given increased rain chances beginning later in the day and cloud cover.
- Central and South Florida will see high temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s this afternoon.
- The low pressure system will move along the Gulf Coast and into the Southeast U.S. later today and overnight, with its warm front pushing northward from the gulf waters.
- This will help to bring scattered to numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms onshore and inland across the Panhandle, then spread into the Big Bend overnight (75-near 100% chance of rain).
- The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is outlooking a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for Severe Weather along the coastal Panhandle as isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible.
