THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Showers and lightning storms are forecast to become numerous again
this afternoon and evening. Gusty winds up to 50 mph, frequent
lightning strikes, and heavy rainfall are the main threats.
A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out. Storms are expected to
move toward the northeast around 15 to 20 mph. Move indoors at the
first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Heavy rain and lightning storms this afternoon and evening will be
capable of producing 1 to 3 inches of rainfall, with locally
higher amounts, in a matter of 1 to 2 hours. Ponding of water on
roadways and standing water in urban and poor drainage areas is
possible, especially where repeated rounds of rainfall occur.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Numerous showers and lightning storms are forecast this afternoon
and evening across inland lakes, the Intracoastal Waterway, and
the adjacent Atlantic waters. Strong storms are possible, capable
of producing wind gusts of 35 knots or greater.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
While the threat is low, a brief waterspout cannot be ruled out
this afternoon and evening, associated with the strongest
lightning storms.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A Moderate Risk of rip currents continues at all east central
Florida beaches today. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never
enter the ocean alone.

.RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
The Saint Johns River at Astor is right at Action Stage this
morning, around 2 feet. River levels are forecast to remain near
Action Stage through this weekend as additional heavy rain works
into the river basin.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
Rain and lightning storm chances will remain elevated through the
weekend and into next week. Stronger storms will be capable of
gusty winds and frequent lightning strikes. Additionally, the
concern for local flooding will continue, especially where
repeated rounds of heavy rainfall have occurred. Rapid ponding of
water and temporary flooding of roadways and urban or poor
drainage areas is expected in these locations.

Poor to hazardous boating conditions are expected to develop early
next week, especially offshore, as northeast winds increase
causing seas to build.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. However,
rainfall accumulations of greater than 2 inches should be
reported to the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
