A pocket of dry air will limit storm coverage over Lake, Volusia, Seminole and Orange counties. But increased moisture is moving in from the southeast across the Treasure coast. The east coast sea breeze will develop by early afternoon and spark scattered lightning storms as it pushes inland across Martin, Saint Lucie, Indian River, south Brevard, Osceola and Okeechobee counties. A few storms will become strong, capable of producing wind gusts up to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes and very heavy rainfall. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... The combination of heat and humidity will produce peak heat indices between 100 and 103 late this morning through the afternoon. If working or recreating outdoors, stay hydrated and take frequent breaks out of the sun. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered lightning storms are expected to develop just inland from the coast by early afternoon over Martin, Saint Lucie, Indian River and southern Brevard counties. Storm motion will be toward the north at 10 to 15 mph which may bring a few storms or their gusty outflows back across the intracoastal waters. Additional storms will develop over Osceola and Okeechobee counties as the east coast sea breeze pushes inland. Gusty winds around 35 knots and frequent lightning will be possible in a few storms. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River at Astor, Sanford, and above Lake Harney near Geneva remain above Action Stage. River levels are forecast to remain steady or slowly fall into next week. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. Moisture will return northward this weekend and this will lead to a return of scattered lightning storms each afternoon. Frequent lightning, gusty winds and heavy downpours will be the primary storm hazards. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today. $$ Kelly
