SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION (30/40 POPS) OCCURRING...MAINLY IN THE

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
THERE REMAINS A MODERATE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND BRIEF
TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. AFTERNOON HEATING TEAMED WITH COOL TEMPERATURES ALOFT
HAVE INCREASED THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WITH PLENTY
OF AVAILABLE ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AND CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION
SUPPLIED BY A TRANSITIONING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...STORMS WILL
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND STRONG. THE GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR
SEVERE WIND AND HAIL WILL BE SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 4 CORRIDOR
DOWN TO LAKE OKEECHOBEE. ALSO...BRIEF TORNADOES AND LANDFALLING
WATERSPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COASTAL ZONE FROM FLAGLER
BEACH TO JUPITER INLET...AND REACH INLAND INTO INTERIOR COUNTIES.
CONDITIONS ALSO EXISTS IN VICINITY OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
THE FLOOD THREAT IS HIGH FOR COASTAL VOLUSIA COUNTY. AN AREAL
FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR VOLUSIA COUNTY THROUGH 415 PM
TODAY. THIS WARNING MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED...AND INCLUDE NEARBY
LOCATIONS. OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS...WIDESPERAD HEAVY RAIN HAS
OCCURRED ACROSS VOLUSIA COUNTY AND PARTS OF NORTH LAKE COUNTY
WHERE 10 TO 12 INCHES HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED...WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2
TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE TODAY. GENEROUS RAINS WILL CONTINUE THIS
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 4 CORRIDOR....AND
ALONG THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR.

...HIGH WIND IMPACT...
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE COAST BETWEEN FLAGLER BEACH AND CAPE CANAVERAL. FREQUENT
WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH ARE EXPECTED.

LAKE WIND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR VOLUSIA...BREVARD...
ORANGE...AND SEMINOLE COUNTIES.

...COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT...
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE RESIDENTS WHO
LIVE ALONG THE INTRACOASTAL HALIFAX RIVER IN VOLUSIA COUNTY.
VOLUSIA COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT REPORTS FLOODING INTO SOME
YARDS AND LOW AREAS ALONG THE HALIFAX RIVER. STRONG ONSHORE WINDS
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC...AND LARGE SWELLS IMPACTING PONCE INLET ARE NOT
ALLOWING EFFECTIVE DISCHARGE FROM INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY INTO THE
ATLANTIC WATERS. A RAINFALL OBSERVER NEAR ORMOND BEACH REPORTED
14.90 INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE PAST THREE DAYS. THE RUN OFF FROM
HEAVY RAIN INTO THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND GUSTY ONSHORE FLOW IS
RAISING WATER LEVELS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE INLET AND MAY IMPACT
LOW AREAS ALONG THE RIVER WITH MINOR FLOODING.

ALONG THE VOLUSIA COUNTY BEACHES...HIGH POUNDING SURF AND LARGE
BREAKING WAVES WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON. MINOR TO LOCALLY
MODERATE BEACH EROSION MAY OCCUR THROUGH THE NEXT HIGH TIDE
CYCLE...WHICH WILL PEAK BETWEEN 5 PM AND 6 PM THIS AFTERNOON.
AREAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO EROSION...MAY EXPERIENCE MODERATE EROSION
DURING THIS EVENT.

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL COASTAL COUNTIES FROM
JUPITER INLET TO FLAGLER BEACH...AND SWIMMING IN THE HIGH SURF IS
STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL DRIVE A MODERATE TO LARGE
SWELL THIS AFTERNOON...WITH HIGH SURF CONDITIONS CONTINUING.
THESE FACTORS WILL CREATE A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK ALONG AREA
BEACHES. BEACHGOERS ARE URGED TO STAY OUT OF THE WATER THIS
AFTERNOON.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
THERE IS A MODERATE THREAT FOR MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUSTS THIS
AFTERNOON AS SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS PRODUCE LOCAL WIND GUSTS
ABOVE 34 KNOTS. ISOLATED GUSTS MAY BE HIGHER NEAR 50 KNOTS.

...WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
MARINE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE WATERSPOUTS OVER THE ATLANTIC
AND INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AS THEY MOVE ONSHORE. THE ASSOCIATED THREAT
IS MODERATE.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE MID ATLANTIC WILL PRODUCE A FRESH TO STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST
BREEZE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS.
THE LOW WILL MAINTAIN THE STRONG FLOW INTO THURSDAY AS IT DRIFTS
SLOWLY WESTWARD TOWARD THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS BETWEEN
FLAGLER BEACH TO JUPITER INLET OUT TO 60 NAUTICAL MILES.

...RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
GENEROUS RAINS HAVE FALLEN OVER THE SAINT JOHNS RIVER BASIN WITH
RUNOFF YET TO BE FULLY REALIZED. CURRENT AND PROJECTED RIVER
STAGES AT LAKE HARNEY...SANFORD...AND DELAND ARE NOT YET A
CONCERN. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF RAIN IN VICINITY OF ASTOR
AS WELL AS THE ELEVATED WINDS SLOWING THE DISCHARGE...THE STAGE
THERE WILL LIKELY RISE ABOVE ACTION STAGE. THE RIVER FORECAST
CENTER WILL BEGIN ISSUING FORECASTS FOR ASTOR TODAY.

PLEASE SEE THE LATEST RIVER FORECAST AT ASTOR FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
CONDITIONS WILL BE BREEZY ON THURSDAY WITH A 70 PERCENT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. BY FRIDAY...THE WINDS WILL WEAKEN MORE
AS THE LOW PULLS FARTHER AWAY. THEN...THE AREA WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION
INTO A MORE TRADITIONAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH ABOUT 40 PERCENT
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE
IF NEEDED.
