Patchy dense fog is possible overnight, especially south of Orlando. If traveling and encountering dense fog, slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave plenty of following distance between vehicles. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A HIGH risk for life-threatening rip currents exists along the Volusia coast, with a Moderate threat for dangerous rip currents continuing south along the Brevard and Treasure coasts. Breaking waves of 3 to 5 feet are occurring at our beaches. Entering the ocean surf is discouraged. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Northeasterly long period swells continue to build seas. A small craft advisory continues beyond 20 nautical miles. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River at Astor is forecast to remain in Moderate Flood stage. The potential for small additional rises exists if locally heavy rainfall develops over the river basin. Please refer to the associated Flood Warning for the Saint Johns River at Astor for more information. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. Scattered, mainly afternoon and evening lightning storms, are forecast for much of the upcoming week. The main hazards will be locally heavy rainfall, lightning strikes, and gusty winds. Warm temperatures and high humidity will continue to produce peak heat index values up to 100 to 105 degrees through early this week. A Moderate to High risk of dangerous rip currents will continue at the beaches. High astronomical tides will produce above normal water levels around the times of high tide for much of the week ahead. This may cause minor inundation of low lying properties near inlets, nearby areas along the Intracoastal Waterway, and adjacent canals. Some docks may briefly get overtopped by water. Long period swells will continue to build seas through at least Monday night producing poor to hazardous boating conditions over the local Atlantic waters. Flooding along the Saint Johns River, particularly at Astor, will continue through the middle of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed tonight. $$ Heil
