THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
There will be a Moderate Risk of rip currents at area beaches today.
Also, north to northeast winds will produce a strong, southward
flowing longshore current, which can push swimmers into deeper
water unexpectedly, making them more susceptible to dangerous rip
currents. Always swim near a lifeguard

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Poor to hazardous boating conditions continue across the local
waters today. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for all the
offshore waters as well as the nearshore Treasure Coast waters
until 10 AM for north to northwest winds around 20 knots and seas
up to 7 feet. Small craft should exercise caution in those waters
through the morning once the Advisory expires, as well as across
the nearshore Brevard and Volusia waters this morning for seas up
to 6 feet and winds 15 to 20 knot.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
Another fire weather sensitive day today with near Red Flag
conditions. North to northeast winds generally around 10 mph,
approaching 15 mph along the coast. Wind gusts of 15 to 20 mph are
possible. Minimum relative humidity values will fall to around
20-25 percent over the interior, and around 30 to 40 percent along
the coast today. Afternoon dispersions look to be very good to
excellent, so control issues are likely once again.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
At least a moderate risk of rip currents will continue through
this weekend.

Sensitive fire weather conditions are forecast to continue into next
week, as dry air lingers across the state, leading to near-
critical minimum RH values.

Warming temperatures will become well above normal by the middle
of next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
