THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
HEAVIER SHOWERS IN LINES OF PRECIPITATION MOVING NORTHWARD OVER
THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS AND ALONG THE EAST COAST THIS MORNING
MAY ACQUIRE SOME LOW LEVEL ROTATION WITH A VERY LOW CHANCE OF
PRODUCING A FUNNEL CLOUD OR BRIEF WATER SPOUT AS THEY APPROACH THE
COAST. THE THREAT WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS MORNING AS STEERING
WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY...AND EVENTUALLY SOUTHWESTERLY. SOME
CELLS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH OVER LAND.
FAST MOVING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY LATE
THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON...AS A PRE FRONTAL BAND OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS BEGINS TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. ANY STRONGER STORMS
WHICH FORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OVER 40
MPH...CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTING STRIKES AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AS
THEY MOVE RAPIDLY NORTH TO NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH
THE EAST COAST AND ENTER THE ATLANTIC. THEY WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING GUSTS OVER 35 KNOTS AND CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING AS THEY
MOVE OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND ENTER THE NEARSHORE
ATLANTIC.
A VERY SMALL CHANCE OF FUNNEL CLOUDS...OR A BRIEF TORNADO...WILL
EXIST MAINLY NORTH OF THE ORLANDO AREA THIS MORNING FOR ANY
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ABLE TO DEVELOP.
...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WIND OF AROUND 15 MPH AND OCCASIONALLY GUSTY
WILL RESULT IN A NORTHWARD FLOWING CURRENT ALONG THE BEACHES THIS
MORNING. A LONGSHORE CURRENT FLOWS PARALLEL TO THE BEACH AND CAN
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KNOCK YOU OFF THE SANDBAR INTO DEEP WATER.
ALWAYS SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD AND NEVER TRY TO SWIM DIRECTLY
AGAINST CURRENTS THAT OCCUR AT THE BEACHES.
...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
ANY SHOWERS OR STORMS WHICH FORM THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS EXCEEDING 35 KNOTS OVER THE
INTRACOASTAL AND THE NEARSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS.
...WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
TORNADIC WATERSPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS
ACROSS THE INTRACOASTAL AND COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THIS MORNING.
...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA COASTAL WATERS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS RETURNS TO THE FORECAST ON
THURSDAY WITH THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. PERIODS OF
STRONGER WINDS AND ELEVATED SEAS WILL EXIST ACROSS MAINLY THE
OFFSHORE WATERS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.
