Patchy dense fog has developed across northern portions of Volusia and Lake counties and will continue through early this morning. Localized visibilities of a half a mile or less will be possible. If encountering dense fog along roadways in this area make sure to slow down, use your low beam headlights and leave plenty of driving distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are forecast to develop into this afternoon and evening, as sea breeze boundaries push inland and collide across the interior. Greatest coverage of showers and storms are forecast to be across inland areas, west of I-95, but some of this activity may still be able to push back toward the coast and just offshore. Some stronger storms will again be possible, with the main threats being frequent lightning strikes, gusty winds to 40 to 50 mph and locally heavy rainfall. .EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IMPACT... Slower moving or persistent storms will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall up to 2 to 4 inches today, mainly across the interior this afternoon and evening. This may lead to temporary minor flooding of roadways and poor drainage areas. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Highs will be closer to normal today, ranging from the upper 80s to around 90 degrees along the coast and low 90s over the interior. However, humid conditions will still continue to produce peak heat index values this afternoon around 102 to 107 before increasing storms and cloud cover later into the afternoon begin to bring some relief from the heat. If outdoors today, remain well hydrated and take plenty of breaks inside air conditioned spaces. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate Risk of rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches today. Always swim near a lifeguard and never swim alone. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. Scattered showers and lightning storms are forecast each day, mainly during the afternoon and early evening hours. However, greatest coverage of this activity is forecast to remain focused across the interior of east central Florida. A few stronger storms will be possible each day, with the primary threats being frequent lightning strikes, strong gusty winds, and locally heavy rainfall. Highs will remain near to slightly above normal, and will combine with humid conditions to produce a Moderate to Major Heat Risk over east central Florida. It is recommended to take frequent breaks out of the sun and drink plenty of water during the hottest part of the days. A Moderate Risk of rip currents is expected to continue through the weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. $$ Weitlich
