Isolated to scattered lightning storms will be possible this afternoon and evening, mainly inland west of I-95, and with the highest chances over the western interior in the late afternoon and evening. One or two stronger storms will be possible, capable of frequent cloud to ground lightning, gusty winds to around 40 mph, and locally heavy downpours that could deliver a quick one to two inches of rain. Slow and erratic storm motion could lead to localized, minor flooding. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A Moderate Risk of dangerous rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Lightning storms capable of gusty winds up to 35 knots will be possible over the local Atlantic waters, Intracoastal Waterways, and the inland lakes.

A Moderate risk of rip currents is expected to continue through at least the first half of this week. Isolated lightning storms will be possible through Tuesday, then very dry conditions set in. Fire weather conditions will become increasingly sensitive this week as moisture decreases and temperatures climb, resulting in near to below critical humidity. Increasing winds late in the week will further increase the fire weather sensitivity. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed this afternoon and tonight. $$ Sedlock/Haley
