THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Isolated lightning storms will be possible late this afternoon
and evening primarily associated with a sea breeze collision,
between 5 PM and 8 PM, over the interior roughly from Lake George
to Poinciana. Storms will be capable of occasional cloud to
ground lightning, gusty winds, and heavy downpours. Storm motion
will be toward the south or southeast.
.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A Moderate Risk of dangerous rip currents continues at all central
Florida Atlantic beaches. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never
swim alone.
.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
A Moderate fire weather danger exists today for low humidity over
the interior, dropping near 40 percent. Along the coast, humidities
will be higher but east to southeast winds will increase 15 to 20
mph with some higher gusts behind the sea breeze.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
A Moderate risk of rip currents is expected to continue through
much of this week.
Fire weather conditions will become increasingly sensitive this
week as moisture decreases and temperatures climb, resulting in
near to below critical humidity. Increasing winds late in the week
will further increase the fire weather sensitivity.
Scattered lightning storms are possible Friday through Sunday
mainly during the afternoons as a frontal boundary sags into
central Florida and becomes stationary.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
