This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for east central Florida.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Isolated thunderstorms will remain possible across the offshore
coastal waters into the afternoon. A band of rain is then
forecast to move into Lake County and through the I-4 corridor
from mid to late afternoon, and then weaken and break up as it
shifts farther east to southeast across the area through this
evening. Embedded isolated thunderstorms will be possible with
this activity, but overall chance for lightning remains low,
around 10-20 percent. Main threat from any storms that can develop
will be gusty winds up to 40 mph, occasional cloud to ground
lightning strikes and heavy downpours.

.RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT...
A moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents exists at all
central Florida Atlantic beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard
and never enter the water alone.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Small craft should exercise caution if venturing into the
offshore waters today for south to southwest winds up to 15 to
20 knots that will become northwest over the Volusia County waters
this afternoon. Small craft should also exercise caution across
the nearshore waters of Volusia County this afternoon for winds
becoming north to northwest and increasing to 15 to 20 knots. Poor
to hazardous boating conditions will exist across much of the
waters into tonight, as a cold front pushes southward through the
region. West to northwest winds of 15 to 20 knots will build seas
up to 6 feet offshore overnight. A Small Craft Advisory goes into
effect over the offshore waters of Volusia and Brevard counties at
1 AM tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
A fresh northerly breeze will persist into late week behind the
cold front, continuing poor to hazardous boating conditions
across the coastal waters.

Below normal temperatures are also forecast into late week behind
the cold front, with the coldest temperatures forecast into
Thursday night. Lows will fall into the mid to upper 30s
northwest of I-4 and into the 40s across much of the rest of east
central Florida. Northerly winds around 5 to 10 mph will also
produce wind chill values as low as the 30s to low 40s across
much of the area early Friday morning.

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