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. $$ Weitlich/Law
