The drought in Florida continues to worsen. There is only a fringe area in the extreme western Panhandle that is not experiencing drought, and the worst drought levels affect parts of Central and South Florida.

A weekly review has been released. About ninety-four percent of Florida is under a drought, with new extreme drought spots in parts of Central Florida.

Rip currents are silent killers. These fast-moving channels of water can reach speeds of 1 to 2 feet per second, but have been measured as high as 8 feet per second.

The drought is showing signs of expansion across the Panhandle, the only area that is not currently experiencing a drought. At the same time, other parts of the Peninsula have received only a fraction of the average rainfall so far this year—time to conserve water even more.

About 60 percent of Florida is experiencing a drought, with the worst one affecting South Florida and worsening.

Easter weekend brings calm weather, but also hazardous beaches and fire weather danger for Florida.

A cold front is moving through the state between Friday and Saturday, bringing cooler and drier air for the weekend.

Experts say the change could put non-English speakers at risk of missing potentially life-saving warnings about extreme weather.

The next cold front will move through Florida between Monday and Tuesday, clearing the state, bringing showers and storms and much-needed relief from the heat.

The south winds will continue to inject moisture into much of the Peninsula. Temperatures will be the hottest across Central Florida.
