EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1045 AM EDT FRI JUN 15 2001

...SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE LIGHTNING STORMS THIS AFTERNOON...

SUFFICIENT MOISTURE WITH HIGH INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW SCATTERED
LIGHTNING STORMS TO FORM OVER THE CENTRAL FLORIDA INTERIOR DURING
THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AT AROUND 15 MPH.

COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
...AS THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE AND OUTFLOWS FROM STORMS OVER THE
INTERIOR MOVE TOWARD THE EAST FLORIDA COAST AND INTERACT WITH THE
EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE AND PRODUCE
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE SIZE OF COINS. AN ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADO
COULD FORM AS STORMS AND THEIR NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES INTERACT.

ALL STORMS TODAY WILL PRODUCE DEADLY CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. MOVE
INDOORS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING SKIES AND STAY AWAY FROM
WINDOWS. LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS MAY OCCUR WELL AHEAD OF THE
RAINFALL.

FOR MARINE INTERESTS...WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL STEER DEVELOPED
STORMS ACROSS THE EAST COAST...MAINLY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. BOATERS AND BEACH VISITORS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR
STORMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...AND PLAN TO TAKE SHELTER BEFORE
THE STORMS ARE OVERHEAD. WIND GUSTS OVER 35 KNOTS...HAIL...AND
FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS.

SKYWARN SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF
ACTIVATE IF STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP. REPORT WIND GUSTS ABOVE
50 MPH...DIME SIZE HAIL OR LARGER...TORNADOES...FUNNEL CLOUDS...OR
