A Moderate Risk of dangerous rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... A Moderate fire weather danger exists today for low humidity over the interior, dropping near 40 percent. Along the coast, humidities will be higher but east to southeast winds will increase 15 to 20 mph with some higher gusts behind the sea breeze. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. A Moderate risk of rip currents is expected to continue through much of this week. Fire weather conditions will become increasingly sensitive this week as moisture decreases and temperatures climb, resulting in near to below critical humidity. Increasing winds late in the week will further increase the fire weather sensitivity. Scattered lightning storms are possible Friday through Sunday mainly during the afternoons as a frontal boundary sags into central Florida and becomes stationary. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
