THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...

WEATHER AND OCEAN CONDITIONS WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE THREAT FOR
RIP CURRENTS AT THE BEACHES OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY. ALWAYS
SWIM WITHIN SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD AND NEVER SWIM ALONE.

A RIP CURRENT IS A NARROW CHANNEL OF WATER WHICH FLOWS OUTWARD
FROM THE SURF ZONE THAT CAN CARRY EVEN A STRONG SWIMMER INTO
DEEPER WATER BEYOND THE SAND BAR. ATTEMPTS TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE
DIRECTLY AGAINST THE CURRENT CAN LEAD TO EXHAUSTION AND DROWNING.

IF CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...TRY TO STAY CALM AND SWIM PARALLEL TO
THE BEACH UNTIL THE CURRENT WEAKENS...THEN SWIM TOWARD SHORE. CALL
OR WAVE YOUR HANDS TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE LIFEGUARDS. IF YOU
ARE NOT AN EXPERIENCED SWIMMER AND CANNOT KEEP YOURSELF AFLOAT FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS...DO NOT ENTER THE WATER.

...WIND AND SEA IMPACT...

A LONG FETCH OF EASTERLY FLOW OVER THE ATLANTIC IS PUSHING A
MODERATE SWELL INTO THE WATERS WHICH WILL BUILD COMBINED SEAS UP
TO 6 FEET OVER THE OPEN ATLANTIC. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE
CAUTION OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

LONG PERIOD OCEAN SWELLS WILL CONTINUE A MODERATE THREAT FOR RIP
CURRENTS INTO NEXT WEEK.

THE COMBINATION OF WIND WAVE AND SWELL WILL BUILD SEAS TO 6 FEET
OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS THIS WEEKEND AND CONTINUE INTO NEXT
WEEK.

THERE IS A CHANCE FOR LIGHTNING STORMS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS
MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF AN EASTERLY WAVE GET DRAWN NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
