THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... There is a risk for a few strong to severe storms today. The first opportunity for strong storms exists late this morning into the early afternoon generally near and north of Interstate 4. Additional storms are possible both along the coast and north of Interstate 4 late this afternoon and evening. Late tonight, additional rounds of storms could enter East Central Florida from the northwest. Gusty winds, large hail, and a tornado or two are also possible in and near the strongest storms that develop. There is a very low risk for a waterspout along the coast. Storms today and tonight will be capable of producing frequent lightning, at times well away from rain. .FLOOD IMPACT... Areas that see repeated storms could experience localized, minor flooding of urban and poorly drained locations. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Unusually hot temperatures are expected for a large portion of the area today. Heat index readings will top out from 95 to 100 degrees for Greater Orlando and points northward. From Brevard and Osceola Counties and points southward, heat indices are forecast to reach 100 to 105 degrees. 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. A strong, northward-flowing longshore current will also exist at Atlantic beaches today. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Offshore-moving lightning storms are possible along the coast. A few erratic wind gusts of 35 to 45 knots may occur in their vicinity. Be prepared to return to port if you see dark storm clouds approaching. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Outside of storms, southeast winds will generally range 15 to 20 knots over the local Atlantic waters today, and intracoastal waters will remain choppy. A Small Craft Advisory continues for waters beyond 20 nautical miles, as winds are forecast to freshen to 20 to 25 knots over the Gulf Stream tonight. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... Gusty south-southwest winds from 15 to 25 mph are possible over the interior. Due to the unusually hot weather, afternoon humidity readings will fall to 40 to 45% south of Orlando this afternoon. Fire-sensitive weather conditions are expected, especially over the Kissimmee Basin to Lake Okeechobee. Additionally, scattered lightning storms will pose at least a low risk of ignition. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. Scattered storms will remain in the forecast through at least Wednesday as a cold front settles into Central Florida. Unstable conditions and strong wind energy will continue to promote at least a Marginal Risk for strong to severe storms on Wednesday. The risk for severe weather quickly decreases beginning Thursday. 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. Poor boating conditions will persist over the offshore waters on Wednesday as winds slowly subside. A moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents is expected again on Wednesday. Scattered storms will become more common again this weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed. $$ Kelly/Heil
