A northward surge of Caribbean moisture into central Florida will result in numerous to widespread showers and scattered lightning storms across east central Florida today. Activity is expected to initially begin from around Lake Okeechobee to the Treasure Coast through mid to late morning, then spread north across the rest of east central Florida through the afternoon. Scattered showers and a few storms will linger through late evening, mainly north of Lake Kissimmee and Melbourne, and may not completely end across the far north until after midnight. Storm motion will be toward the north-northeast at 15 to 20 mph, with multiple rounds of storms possible at any one location. Brief wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph, cloud to ground lightning, and heavy downpours will accompany today`s storms. Move indoors to safety at the first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder. .FLOOD IMPACT... Torrential rain is expected from today`s storms. Many areas will receive between 1 and 2 inches of rainfall, with some locations which see repeated rounds of storms pickup up 3 to 5 inches, and possibly a little more. This will produce rapid inundation of roads, and other urban and other poorly drained, low lying areas. Never attempt to cross flooded roads, as the water depth may be too great to allow your vehicle to make it safely through. Turn around, don`t drown. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Storms will also be capable of producing wind gusts in excess of 35 knots and locally higher waves as they move northward across area lakes, the Intracoastal Waterway, and local Atlantic waters. Boaters should water for storms approaching from the south today and seek safe harbor ahead of any storms. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... There will be a Moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the central Florida Atlantic beaches today. While rip currents will be present all day, they will be most numerous until 930 AM this morning, and again after 300 PM. Remember to always swim within sight of a lifeguard and never enter the ocean alone. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. High coverage of showers and storms is expected again on Saturday, along with a continued threat for localized flooding of poorly drained areas. Storm coverage will decrease next week, with only isolated activity expected along the coast and scattered showers and storms inland. Cloud to ground lightning strikes, torrential rainfall and gusty winds will be possible in stronger storms. The rip current threat will remain moderate at the central Florida Atlantic beaches this weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. However, please relay any reports of flooding or rainfall amounts of two inches or greater to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. $$ Cristaldi
