Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms will develop into the afternoon and evening hours. Showers and storms will develop by late morning along the coast before shifting across the interior into the afternoon and early evening. Lingering showers and storms will then push back towards the coast into late evening. Storms will generally move north to northeast around 10 to 15 mph, with some storms being able to push offshore. Main storm threats will be gusty winds up to 40 mph, occasional to frequent lightning strikes and torrential downpours. .EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IMPACT... Any slow moving or repeated rounds of heavier showers and storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts of up to 5 to 6 inches possible. These high rainfall amounts could lead to additional localized flooding concerns of urban, low- lying, and poor drainage areas. Locations that have already received substantial rainfall the last few days will be more susceptible to flooding. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Heat and high humidity today will combine to produce peak afternoon heat indices of 100 to 105 degrees, leading to a Minor HeatRisk. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate Risk for dangerous rip currents will exist at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Poor boating conditions are expected to continue into this afternoon for seas up to 6 feet in the offshore waters of Volusia and Brevard. Small craft should exercise caution in those waters. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River near Astor is forecast to remain in Minor Flood Stage through late week due to light north to northeast winds and periods of locally heavy rainfall. Levels will hover between 2.6 to 2.8 feet, but could spike higher briefly with heavy downpours. The potential exists for additional rises if persistent locally heavy rainfall develops over the basin, and could reach Moderate Flood Stage if this occurs. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday. Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are forecast each afternoon and evening through at least late week. Locally heavy to excessive rainfall leading to additional localized flooding, cloud- to-ground lightning strikes, and gusty winds will remain the primary threats. Heat and humidity will produce peak heat indices as high as 100 to 105 degrees through mid week, mainly from southern Brevard County to Okeechobee County southward. At least a Moderate risk of dangerous rip currents is expected to continue at the beaches through mid week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. $$ Watson
