...SCATTERED LIGHTNING STORMS THIS AFTERNOON...

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE ATLANTIC WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE PENINSULA THROUGH SUNDAY. THE EAST COAST SEA
BREEZE SHOULD FOCUS SCATTERED STORMS BY EARLY AFTERNOON FROM JUST
INLAND OF MELBOURNE TO NEAR LAKE OKEECHOBEE. ADDITIONAL STORMS ALONG
THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AT 10 MPH AND REACH THE
INTERIOR BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON. INTERACTIONS OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
FROM THE EAST AND WEST COAST STORMS SHOULD LEAD TO THE GREATEST
COVERAGE FROM THE VOLUSIA COUNTY COAST TO EASTERN METRO ORLANDO
AND NORTHERN BREVARD COUNTY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING.

THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS TODAY WILL BE POTENTIALLY DEADLY CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING. HOWEVER...STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
RAINFALL RATES OVER 2 INCHES PER HOUR AND WIND GUSTS OVER 40 MPH.
MARINE OUTLOOK...WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OVER THE
GULF STREAM THIS MORNING. A FEW STORMS THAT DEVELOP JUST INLAND BY
EARLY AFTERNOON MAY AFFECT THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAYS...AND A FEW
COULD ALSO PUSH BACK ACROSS THE COAST FROM MELBOURNE NORTHWARD DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
