...Chances of Showers and Thunderstorms Increasing Today...
...Moderate Risk of Rip Currents for the Palm Beaches...
...Localized Flooding Possible Today...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

Thunderstorms: chances of thunderstorms across the area, with highest
chances over the northern half of south Florida late mooning and
early afternoon, then spreading elsewhere late this afternoon and
tonight. The primary hazards will be lightning strikes, locally heavy
rainfall, and gusty winds.

Flooding: periods of heavy rain can result in localized flooding,
especially over urban areas with poor drainage. Multiple storms
affecting the same area will lead to accumulation of water on roads,
especially intersections prone to flooding.

Rip currents: There is a moderate risk of rip currents for the Palm
Beaches today.

Hail: some thunderstorms may produce small to severe size hail today.

Wind: the strongest thunderstorms may produce brief periods of
gusty winds that could reach 50 mph or higher. Severe storms may
produce damaging winds, especially around the Lake region this
afternoon.

Visibility: Some patchy fog may develop overnight into early Tuesday
morning, mainly over the southern inland areas of southern Florida.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

The elevated risk of rip currents may linger through Tuesday along
the Palm Beaches as a result of a weak small northeasterly swell.

Chances of strong to severe thunderstorms on Tuesday, especially
north of Alligator Alley, as a frontal boundary meanders around and
north of South Florida through middle of the week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated, but individual spotters are
encouraged to report any significant weather events to the National
Weather Service Office in Miami.
