THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE COUPLED WITH THE AFTERNOON SEA AND LAKE
BREEZES WILL LEAD TO A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LIGHTNING STORMS NEAR
THE COAST THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...AND A LITTLE HIGHER CHANCE
FOR STORMS OVER THE INTERIOR...AND OVER WESTERN VOLUSIA COUNTY.

TODAY`S STORMS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH AT AROUND 10 MPH. THE
MAIN THREATS WILL BE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING
SHOULD ANY STRONGER STORMS DEVELOP. BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO 30 OR 40
MPH WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

STORM MOTION WILL BE SLOW AND ERRATIC TODAY...AND BECAUSE OF THIS
STORMS ARE VERY LIKELY TO DUMP TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF TWO
TO THREE INCHES WHERE THEY FORM. CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES
AND BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 30 OR 35 MPH ARE ALSO EXPECTED IN A
FEW OF THE MORE INTENSE STORMS.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
STORMS OVER INLAND LAKES COULD PRODUCE WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 35
KNOTS.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
DUE TO A SMALL LONG PERIOD OCEAN SWELL THERE WILL BE A LOW TO
MODERATE THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES TODAY. THE
THREAT WILL BE GREATEST DURING THE OUTGOING TIDE DURING THE
AFTERNOON. SWIM ONLY AT GUARDED BEACHES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA THROUGH LATE WEEK AS WINDS BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY...AND
FAVOR THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE PENINSULA FOR STORMS. EVEN HIGHER
COVERAGE OF STORMS MAY OCCUR BY NEXT WEEKEND AS A TROPICAL WAVE
APPROACHES FROM THE CARIBBEAN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
