Florida's drought continues to worsen, increasing wildfire risk. There are over 20 active wildfires reported, in addition to over 60 fires that are still burning but contained within the state, and many counties are under a burn ban.
Water levels in the Biscayne Aquifer have fallen dramatically... and there are still close to 4 months left of the dry season.
Bone-dry air is in place across much of Florida, and another cold front will push through early Saturday, which will reinforce the cold and dry air. Winds will also be strong, which could make any fires that ignite become erratic.
Another cold front is pushing through Florida. Downpours over the Panhandle first, and it seems like the rain will also make it through the entire peninsula. A cooldown is forecast.
