"Florida this year will be fighting drier weather this spring. North Florida and the Panhandle will have the highest risk for severe weather and tornadoes," said Alexander Duffus, AccuWeather meteorologist and long-range severe weather expert, in a telephone interview.

In its spring 2025 forecast, AccuWeather predicts there will be 1,300 to 1,450 tornadoes across the United States, slightly above the historical average of 1,225 tornadoes. While Florida is expected to fare better than the rest of the country, the Florida Panhandle and North Florida have the highest risk of tornadoes this spring.

The total lunar eclipse will be March 13 and March 14. On the Treasure Coast, the eclipse's phases will begin, peak and end around these times, according to Time and Date AS: Penumbral — when the moon moves through the Earth's shadow — will begin at 11:57 p.m. March 13.

Florida has two time zones, eastern and central. The Panhandle can expect to see the lunar eclipse around midnight CDT on March 14. The Florida Peninsula can expect to see the lunar eclipse start about 1 a.m. EDT.
