Scattered to numerous showers and storms will develop across the area today and push eastward and offshore. Some strong to severe storms will continue to be possible today, with the primary threats being strong to locally damaging winds around 40 to 60 mph, coin-sized hail, a tornado or two, and frequent lightning strikes. Storms will move toward the east to northeast up to 40 to 45 mph. Greatest coverage of storms will exist across areas from Brevard and Osceola counties southward this afternoon. However, additional storms are forecast to redevelop across Lake county and the I 4 corridor this afternoon. .FLOOD IMPACT... Any persistent or repeated rounds of storms may lead to localized heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, which could cause temporary minor flooding of roadways and poor drainage areas. .HIGH WIND IMPACT... Breezy west to southwest winds will occur across the area today, with sustained speeds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts up to 25 to 30 mph. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Near to south of a line from Lake Kissimmee to Melbourne, highs are forecast to reach the low to mid 90s this afternoon, with peak heat index values of 100 to 105. This early-season heat poses a risk for heat illness, especially among children, the elderly, and those with compromised health. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... There is a moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents at all Atlantic beaches. Always swim within sight of a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered lightning storms will develop across the area today and will have the potential to produce wind gusts of 35 knots or greater as they push quickly eastward across area lakes and offshore. Be prepared to return to port if you see dark storm clouds approaching. .WATERSPOUT IMPACT... An isolated waterspout or two will be possible with any stronger offshore moving storms today. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Small craft should exercise caution if venturing offshore for west to southwest winds up to 15 to 20 knots. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. A spell of unusually hot weather, for mid-May, will continue through at least Saturday. Daytime highs will reach well into the 90s each afternoon. A low to moderate risk of heat-related illness will persist for those sensitive to the heat. Fire sensitive conditions expected across the interior tomorrow, as drier air leads to lower relative humidity and westerly winds remain gusty. Drier conditions expected into late week, with scattered storms becoming more common again this weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should closely monitor weather conditions and activate as weather approaches. $$ Kelly/Weitlich
