Overview

• Operational NWS/WPC guidance places the front entering the western Panhandle early Sunday, crossing northern Florida Sunday, moving through the central peninsula overnight into Monday, and reaching South Florida during Monday daytime.
• Nighttime lows are expected to dip to roughly 58–61°F in the Panhandle and northern counties, while daytime highs hold near 84–90°F across central and southern Florida with drier air behind the front.
• NWS Tallahassee projects around 0.25 inches of rain in parts of the Panhandle, an amount too small to ease ongoing severe to extreme drought in some areas.
• A low-end severe weather risk exists for south Alabama and northwest Florida early Sunday, with scattered thunderstorms, gusty winds, and a nonzero chance of an isolated tornado.
• Coastal impacts include a wind shift to north or northeast and seas near 4–6 feet, and meteorologists advise monitoring local updates in case small track or intensity changes alter timing or rainfall.
