Scattered showers and lightning storms are forecast across east central Florida today. An isolated, marginally severe storm will be possible in vicinity of Lake Okeechobee. A strong to marginally severe storm will be capable of strong to damaging wind gusts, coin-sized hail, and cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... Breezy north winds will produce a strong, southward-flowing longshore current today. This can push swimmers into deeper water unexpectedly, making them more susceptible to dangerous rip currents. Always swim within sight of a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered showers and lightning storms are forecast today. Organized storms will be capable of producing wind gusts of 34 kts or greater over inland lakes, the Intracoastal Waterway, and adjacent Atlantic waters. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. Scattered showers and lightning storms are forecast again on Tuesday before coverage decreases mid to late week. A limited risk for excessive heat returns late week into the weekend as temperatures climb into the 90s with heat indices reaching the low to mid 100s. At least a moderate risk for rip currents will exist into mid week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. $$ Law
