When a system starts to develop in the Atlantic, FPREN keeps an eye on it. The map displayed below provides a live feed via the National Hurricane Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—so you can watch closely, monitor the path, and be prepared if necessary long before any storm makes landfall.
Cold temperatures for two nights to start the week, but the coldest night will be Monday night into Tuesday. Strong winds and low humidity levels will increase the wildfire risk across Florida as the extreme drought worsens.
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.
