THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
Breezy conditions will continue this afternoon behind the cold
front, especially along the coast. West to northwest winds of 15
to 20 mph will gust as high as 25 to 30 mph at times.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
Rough surf, a developing southward flowing longshore current, and
a moderate risk of rip currents today. Large breaking waves can
knock you off your feet and make you even more susceptible to
becoming caught in the seaward pull of a rip current. In addition,
developing breezy north to northwest winds this afternoon will
produce a strong southward flowing longshore current, which can
knock swimmers off the sandbar into deeper water and make them
more susceptible to dangerous rip currents.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the offshore waters
north of Sebastian Inlet, and a Small Craft Should Exercise
Caution across all other marine areas of east central Florida.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
At least a moderate risk of rip currents and hazardous seas are
expected to continue into mid-week.

Another low pressure center is forecast to develop over the gulf
of Mexico on Saturday. There will be a chance of storms Saturday
with approach of this system, with a few of the storms possibly
becoming strong as the low and associated cold front crosses the
state late Saturday. Strong winds and building seas, with rough
surf conditions are expected over the open Atlantic Sunday and
into early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed this afternoon and tonight.
