THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.
.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.
.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
Rough surf and a high risk of life-threatening rip currents will
continue overnight at all east central Florida beaches. Entering the
ocean, especially at night, is strongly discouraged.
.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Deteriorating boating conditions are expected to continue into
tonight as southeast winds increase. Small craft will need to
exercise caution near inlets due to a long period swell, as well
as across the nearshore waters through the early evening hours. A
Small Craft Advisory is in effect across the offshore waters and
will expand at 11 PM to include the nearshore waters. The
Intracoastal waters will continue to be choppy due to the
persistent onshore breezes.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
A cold front will pass through the state late on Thursday. Ahead of
it, windy weather is forecast from late morning through the
afternoon. Gusts to around 40 mph are possible, with a few gale-
force gusts and building seas causing dangerous boating conditions
over the open local Atlantic waters.
A band of showers and embedded lightning storms should accompany the
front as it arrives Thursday afternoon. North of Interstate 4, there
is a Slight Risk of a few storms becoming severe with gusty winds to
60 mph and a tornado possible. The risk becomes more marginal south
of Interstate 4, but it cannot be completely ruled out.
Near-record early-season hot temperatures in the lower 90s south of
Orlando will introduce a low risk for heat related illness,
particularly for children, the elderly, and those with compromised
health.
At least a moderate risk of rip currents will continue through late
this week.
Finally, fire sensitive weather conditions are forecast south of
Orlando on Thursday afternoon ahead of the cold front. Then, much
drier air sweeps into the state to end the work week with fire
sensitive weather conditions for all of the local area from Friday
into the weekend.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed tonight.
