This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for east central Florida. .DAY ONE...Today and tonight. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... Isolated lightning storms are forecast today. Brief gusty winds to 40 mph, occasional lightning strikes, and heavy rain will accompany any stronger storms that develop. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A high risk of life-threatening rip currents exists at the Volusia and Northern Brevard County beaches, and a moderate risk of rip currents exists at the remaining Central Florida Atlantic beaches. Entering the water is highly discouraged. 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 salt water. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River near Astor is forecast to remain in Moderate Flood stage. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. Isolated lightning storms are forecast through early next week. 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 the 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
