An active season is still the most likely outcome when the 2021 Hurricane Season comes to a close according NOAA's updated seasonal forecast.

Anticipated heavy rainfall over the coming days have resulted in Flood Watches for much of the Nature Coast, Big Bend, and stretching as far west as the Panama City area in the Panhandle.

Florida is about to see some relief from the excessive heat that was over a large part of the state this past weekend, but it will come at a price.

The dangerous combination of heat and humidity will continue across the entire Florida Panhandle and a growing portion of north and central Florida Saturday.

Heat indices could be as high as 110º across the Florida Panhandle and portions of North Florida for several days in a row.

The low is expected to move inland later Monday or Monday night over Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, ending the possibility of further development.

A storm system sliding into the Southeast will begin to enhance thunderstorm activity across North Florida Friday, then potentially acquire tropical characteristics as it moves offshore this weekend, further enhancing rain chances across the rest of the peninsula.

Deeper moisture is back on the move into Florida this week, making way for numerous thunderstorms to replace the recent stretch of drier weather over the next few days across most of the state.
