Activity will push inland with the east coast sea breeze, faster to the north thanks to outflow from storms over the Atlantic waters to the northeast, and slower to the south. Primary storm hazards are frequent lightning, locally heavy rainfall that could produce a quick 1 to 3 inches (and a very low chance for more), and wind gusts up to 50 mph. Temperatures are seasonably warm in the upper 80s to around 90, with peak afternoon heat indices in the upper 90s to around 100. A Moderate risk of rip currents continues at the beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never swim alone.

Click/tap image to enlarge | Typical late wet season conditions, including near to above normal rain and storm chances and seasonably warm temperatures, continue today. On Thursday, the first front of the Fall season reaches Central Florida. Rain and storm chances remain above normal Thursday as the front pushes through, then drier air gradually filters down the peninsula, allowing rain chances to linger across the south through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Breezy to windy conditions Thursday and Friday will produce poor to hazardous beach and marine impacts, including rough surf and a high risk of rip currents.
Click/tap image to enlarge | A front pushing through Thursday will produce a number of hazards. Moderate risk of lightning storms across all of east central Florida today and Thursday, then the risk shifts south and decreases Friday and Saturday. Wind gusts Thursday behind the front pick up to 25-35 mph from Brevard and Osceola counties north, including the Orlando and Daytona Metro areas. Friday wind gusts 25-30 mph will spread across the whole area. These winds will produce a high risk of rip currents and high/rough surf at the beaches Thursday into the weekend. Boating conditions will become hazards Thursday into Friday as seas build to 7 to 12 feet and winds increase to 15 to 30 knots, highest north of Sebastian inlet.
