THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
DUE TO DECREASING MOISTURE AND THE UPPER TROUGH WHICH HAD BEEN OVER
FLORIDA MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST...MUCH LOWER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS IS EXPECTED ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. ISOLATED STORMS
ARE FORECAST OVER THE INTERIOR COUNTIES...WITH A SLIGHTLY HIGHER
CHANCE NEAR THE COAST DUE TO A DEVELOPING NORTHWESTERLY SURFACE AND
STEERING WIND FLOW. STORMS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH.

A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE MIDDLE TO LATE AFTERNOON
WITH GUSTY WINDS TO 40 OR 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...
AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALL PRODUCING AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES IN A 60
TO 90 MINUTE PERIOD.


.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
TODAY`S STRONGER STORMS WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
WIND GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS OVER LARGER INLAND LAKES...WITH A LITTLE
BETTER CHANCE FOR GUSTY WINDS OVER THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE
ATLANTIC WATERS AS THEY MOVE SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 15 KNOTS.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
AN ELEVATED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MAY REDEVELOP OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY
WEEKEND. IN ADDITION...A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE FLORIDA ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN DETERIORATING
BOATING CONDITIONS.


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.
