THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED PRIMARILY INLAND AND ALONG THE COAST NORTH SEBASTIAN.
STEERING LEVEL FLOW OUT OF THE WEST-SOUTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO PLACE
THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
STORM MOTION WILL BE OUT OF THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST AT ABOUT 15 MPH
EXCEPT ANY STORMS WHICH MANAGE TO FORM ALONG THE TREASURE COAST WILL
MOVE OUT OF THE EAST.

STRONGER BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL OCCUR LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AND WILL RESULT IN A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH FREQUENT TO
EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
THOUGH STEERING FLOW WILL BE A LITTLE STRONGER TODAY...ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL IN LOCATIONS THAT HAVE SEEN HEAVY RAINFALL RECENTLY WILL
LEAD TO PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND OTHER POORLY DRAINED
AREAS.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL MOVE
TO THE NORTHEAST AT AROUND 10 KNOTS. THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE
WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS AS THEY MOVE OVER INLAND
LAKES...THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS AND EVENTUALLY OFFSHORE. BOATERS
SHOULD MOVE TO SAFE HARBOR AT THE FIRST SIGN OF DEVELOPING STORMS.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
DUE TO A SMALL LONG PERIOD OCEAN SWELL THERE WILL BE A LOW THREAT OF
RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES TODAY. CHECK WITH YOUR BEACH PATROL FOR
THE LATEST OCEAN CONDITIONS...AND SWIM WITHIN SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL FAVOR THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE PENINSULA
FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THROUGH MID WEEK...BEFORE ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS AND SHIFTS THE BEST
RAIN CHANCES INLAND. HIGHER TROPICAL MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS SOUTH
FLORIDA MAY INCREASE RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEKEND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.
