THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ORGANIZING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE
TOWARD THE FLORIDA PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON BRINGING WITH IT A
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ENHANCED BY A STRONG
UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM AND STRENGTHENING LOW AND MID LAYER WIND
FIELDS AS IT APPROACHES EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA LATER THIS MORNING
AND DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL
BE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH BOWING THUNDERSTORM
SEGMENTS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
STRIKES WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. THERE IS A VERY
LOW THREAT THAT A STORM COULD DEVELOP ROTATION AND PRODUCE AN
ISOLATED TORNADO. RESIDENTS AND VISITORS TO THE AREA SHOULD
MONITOR THE WEATHER BY LISTENING FOR LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE
WARNINGS. BE PREPARED TO SEEK SHELTER QUICKLY IN A STURDY
STRUCTURE INDOORS SHOULD WARNINGS BE ISSUED FOR YOUR LOCATION.

...HIGH WIND IMPACT...
BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS LATE THIS MORNING WILL BECOMING WINDY FROM
THE NORTHWEST BY LATE AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA. NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO
AROUND 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PRECEDE THE COLD FRONT DURING
THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND MAY HELP MIX SOME STRONGER WINDS IN EXCESS
OF 35 KNOTS TO THE SURFACE ACROSS THE INLAND LAKES CAUSING A
HAZARD FOR SMALL BOATERS.

GUSTY WINDS MAY ALSO BLOW AROUND LIGHT PATIO FURNITURE AND BLOW
DEBRIS ACROSS ROADWAYS. MOTORISTS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR
LOOSE OBJECTS THAT MAY BE BLOWN INTO YOUR LANE.

...EXCESSIVE COLD IMPACT...
NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT ARE EXPECTED AT 10 TO 15 MPH
OVERNIGHT. THESE WINDS COMBINED WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
30S TO LOWER 40S WILL ALLOW WIND CHILLS TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S
AND LOWER 30 LATE AT NIGHT.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST NIGHT OF MANY WITH LOWS IN THE 30S ACROSS
MUCH OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. HOUSE AND APARTMENT FIRES POSE A
REAL DANGER DURING FLORIDA COLD AIR OUTBREAKS. REMEMBER TO KEEP
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SUCH AS CLOTHING OR NEWSPAPERS AWAY FROM
PORTABLE HEATERS. MAKE SURE THAT SMOKE DETECTORS ARE WORKING
PROPERLY BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A DECREASING NORTHEAST SWELL WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A MODERATE RISK OF
RIP CURRENTS AT EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA BEACHES TODAY.

...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE
QUICKLY EASTWARD TOWARD EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA BY MID DAY AND MOVE
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. THE POTENTIAL IS HIGH
FOR WIND GUSTS ABOVE 35 KNOTS WITH THESE STORMS WHICH WILL BE A
HAZARD TO SMALL CRAFT OPERATORS ON THE LARGER INLAND
LAKES...INTRACOASTAL AND ATLANTIC WATERS.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
MARINE CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THROUGH THE DAY AS GUSTY SOUTHWEST
TO WEST WINDS ACCOMPANY A LINE OF STORMS AND THEN WIND STRENGTHEN
FURTHER FROM THE NORTHWEST LATER THIS AFTERNOON. NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL INCREASE TO 25 TO 30 KNOTS OFFSHORE TONIGHT WITH SEAS BUILDING
OVER 10 FEET. BOATING CONDITIONS WILL BECOME HAZARDOUS FOR SMALL
CRAFT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR SUCCESSIVE NIGHTS WELL INTO
NEXT WEEK WITH LOW WIND CHILLS ALONG WITH A THREAT OF FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ON A FEW NIGHTS. THE AIR MASS WILL ALSO BE VERY DRY
WHICH WILL LEAD TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY CONCERNS SATURDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD MONITOR THE WEATHER. FORMAL ACTIVATION MAY BE
NEEDED.
