.KEY MESSAGES... - Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms through the week.

- Moderate to extreme drought conditions continue.

Issued at 840pm EDT Wednesday April 1 2026

Some scattered low-topped shower activity continues to move offshore this evening with most land areas dry at this point. Additional precipitation is not expected through the remainder of the evening and overnight hours with mainly clear skies and overnight lows dropping to the upper 50s to the mid 60s. Other some minor tweaks to Probability of Precipitation this evening based on latest radar trends, the forecast remains on track at this time.

Issued at 223pm EDT Wednesday April 1 2026

Today is shaping up to be a mostly dry and hot day with only a few showers possible this afternoon and evening. Tomorrow will look a little different with an increase in moisture in the mid levels moving over the state. As it does so it will allow for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms to form during the afternoon and evening hours. With our easterly flow still in place we can expect these showers to move from east to west during the day.

Our mid levels quickly dry back out for Friday and into the weekend. This will keep showers to a minimum with only a 20 to 30 percent chances each afternoon and evening. Temperatures will remain warm with highs around 90 degrees both Saturday and Sunday for most of the area.

By next Monday a frontal boundary will start to slow down over North Florida resulting in increased moisture and better shower chances throughout the day. This front will slow drift south Monday night and stall over the area Tuesday. Right now models are showing a cloudy day with light on and off showers. This gloomy day will also result in temperatures staying in the mid to upper 70's for highs.

Fire Weather
Issued at 223pm EDT Wednesday April 1 2026
