For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Indian River, Coastal Saint Lucie, Coastal Martin, Mainland Northern Brevard, Northern Brevard Barrier Islands, Mainland Southern Brevard and Southern Brevard Barrier Islands Counties. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM EDT Friday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Some flooding of low-lying lots, parks and roadways may occur near the shoreline. Only isolated road closures are expected. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Onshore winds and above normal tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. && $$

Scattered lightning storms are forecast across east central Florida today. The greatest coverage increases along the coast late in the afternoon and into the evening. Primary storm hazards will be occasional to frequent lightning strikes, wind gusts up to 40-50 mph, and localized heavy rainfall. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Heat and humidity will combine to produce peak afternoon heat index values of 100 to 105 degrees across east central Florida today. This will lead to a Minor to Moderate Heat Risk across much of the area. Take frequent breaks from the heat and stay well-hydrated. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A HIGH risk for life-threatening rip currents exists at all area beaches. Entering the water is not advised. .COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT... High astronomical tides will produce above normal water levels around the times of high tide. This may cause minor inundation of low lying properties near inlets, nearby areas along the Intracoastal Waterway, and adjacent canals. Some docks may briefly get overtopped by water. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River near Astor is forecast to remain in Moderate Flood stage. The potential exists for additional rises if locally heavy rainfall develops over the river basin. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. Scattered lightning storms are forecast through much of this week, mainly in the afternoon and evening. The main hazards will be locally heavy rainfall, lightning strikes, and gusty winds. A moderate to high risk of dangerous rip currents will continue at the beaches. High astronomical tides will continue to produce above normal water levels around the times of high tide for much of the week. This may cause minor inundation of low lying properties near inlets, nearby areas along the Intracoastal Waterway, and adjacent canals. Some docks may briefly get overtopped by water. Flooding along the Saint Johns River, particularly at Astor, will continue through the middle of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. $$ Law
