A disturbance will combine with tropical moisture to produce another round of showers and storms, particularly this afternoon and early evening. The highest coverage will reside from near and west of Orlando southward to the Lake Okeechobee region. Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and gusty winds up to 50 mph are possible. In addition, there is a Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall in areas that see repeated storms, mainly over the interior and Greater Orlando area. Localized 2 to 4 inch tallies cannot be ruled out again today. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Before any cooling effects from today`s storms, high temperatures in the lower 90s and seasonably high humidity will result in heat index readings from 98 to 104 degrees. If you have outdoor plans today, remain well-hydrated and take plenty of breaks in the shade or indoors. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate Risk of rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches today. There have already been several rip current rescues at our beaches this weekend!! Always swim near a lifeguard and never swim alone. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. There remains a daily chance for scattered showers and storms through this week. Occasional to frequent lightning, brief gusty winds, and torrential rainfall will accompany the strongest storms. As we approach the Independence holiday, high pressure is forecast to build over the state. Temperatures should turn even hotter, with widespread low and mid 90s late this week and into next weekend. Combined with above normal nighttime temperatures and high humidity, the Heat Risk could jump into the Major category for portions of the area. This means the potential for heat-related health impacts, such as heat exhaustion, will increase. Local residents and visitors planning to be outdoors will need to take extra precautions to beat the heat. A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents will persist into Monday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. $$ Heil
