Because Florida is a closed primary state, you must be registered as a Republican to receive a a Republican ballot on Primary Day. If you are registered as a Democrat or an Independent, you won't get a Republican ballot and won't be able to cast the vote you desire.

July 20 is the deadline to change your party registration for the Aug. 18 Primary. You can do so here: Florida Voter Registration System Of course, you can change back after the Primary.
This is the important part!!
