Widely scattered lightning storms are forecast this afternoon and evening and will be capable of gusty winds to 45 mph, occasional lightning strikes, and locally heavy rainfall. The highest chance of storms is along the Treasure Coast. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents exists at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard and never enter the water alone. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. .COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT... Minor coastal flooding is expected during today`s high tide cycles. Low lying streets, yards, and docks could become submerged. Water may reach the dune line or seawalls at our most vulnerable beaches. Never drive your vehicle through saltwater. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River near Astor is forecast to remain in Moderate Flood stage. The chance for rain is lower over the basin today, but any slow moving storms could cause river levels to rise. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Isolated lightning storms are forecast through the weekend. Brief heavy rain and gusty winds will accompany any stronger storms. A moderate to high risk of dangerous rip currents will continue at the beaches. A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect through Sunday afternoon due to above-normal water levels around times of high tide. This may cause minor inundation of low lying properties near inlets, nearby areas along the Intracoastal Waterway, and adjacent canals. Some docks or sea walls may briefly get overtopped by water. 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 today and tonight. $$ Heil
