Surface Flow Characteristics
Florida is characterized by a flat landscape with numerous rivers and lakes that are critical to the state's hydrology. The St. Johns River, the longest river in Florida, flows from its headwaters in east-central Florida to the Atlantic Ocean. Other major rivers include the Kissimmee River, the Ocklawaha River, and the Apalachicola River. The state's climate is subtropical, with hot and humid summers and mild winters, and is prone to frequent hurricanes and tropical storms. There are numerous man-made reservoirs in Florida, including Lake Okeechobee, which is the largest freshwater lake in the state and a key water source for agriculture and urban areas. The state does not receive significant snowfall, and its hydrology is primarily influenced by rainfall patterns, groundwater recharge, and coastal tides.

Statewide Warnings & Alerts
Residents of Florida, particularly those in the vicinity of the Apalachicola River near Blountstown, should brace themselves for minor flooding conditions. The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has extended a Flood Warning until early Friday afternoon. Areas like Douglas Landing and Willis Landing Campgrounds in Gulf County are experiencing minor lowland flooding, and river stage readings indicate current levels at 18.7 feet. It's crucial for the community to be aware that these levels may not fully represent local conditions due to tidal effects, winds, or localized rainfall, so caution is advised. The river is expected to crest at 18.8 feet, reminiscent of the flood levels observed on February 29, 2016. The flood stage is at 17.0 feet, so riverfront residents and campground visitors should exercise vigilance and be prepared for potential impacts to property and accessibility.
In addition, Floridians living near the Satilla River at Atkinson should also stay alert as there is an ongoing Flood Warning with minor flooding occurring and additional minor flooding forecasted. As the river stage currently stands at 13.2 feet, regions such as Warners Landing, Louis Landing, and areas around KOA campgrounds are beginning to flood. If the river reaches the predicted crest of 13.3 feet, River Rock Road might experience flooding across its path. It's essential for locals to stay informed by monitoring updates and adhering to any advisories or instructions issued by emergency management officials. While these conditions persist, it's recommended to avoid water-related recreational activities and keep a safe distance from the river banks as water levels can rise quickly and without warning. Stay safe and keep an eye on the latest weather developments.
