Patchy dense fog is forecast tonight. If traveling and encountering dense fog, slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave plenty of following distance between vehicles. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... Isolated storms through the evening will contain occasional lightning, gusty winds from 30-40 mph, and the potential for heavy rain leading to minor flooding. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents exists at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. .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...Sunday through Friday. Scattered showers and lightning storms are forecast on Sunday into next week. The main hazards will be locally heavy rainfall, lightning strikes, and gusty winds. Warm temperatures and high humidity will produce peak heat index values up to 100 to 107 degrees through early next week. Slightly lower humidity by mid week will allow heat index values to fall into the low 100s. A Moderate to High risk of dangerous rip currents is expected at the beaches. High astronomical tides will produce above normal water levels around the times of high tide from Sunday evening through much of next week. 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. Increasing long period swells will build seas Sunday through Tuesday with poor to hazardous boating conditions forecast over the local Atlantic. 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
