THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
OCCASIONAL BRIEF SQUALLS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE QUICKLY WESTWARD
AT 40 MPH AND PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS 40 TO 50 MPH AND POSSIBLY A FEW
LIGHTNING STRIKES...MAINLY NEAR THE COAST. SINCE THE GROUND ACROSS
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA IS WATERLOGGED FROM ALL THE HEAVY RAIN OF THE
PAST TWO DAYS...WINDS OF THIS STRENGTH WILL BE CAPABLE OF BLOWING
DOWN TREES...ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE WEAK...OR WITH SHALLOW ROOT
SYSTEMS.

.TORNADO THREAT...
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTER. THERE IS A LOW...BUT DISCERNIBLE THREAT
FOR TORNADOES...MAINLY ALONG THE VOLUSIA AND SPACE COASTS.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
CONTINUED STRONG AND GUSTY ONSHORE WINDS WILL GENERATE RAIN AND
SQUALLS OVER THE ATLANTIC THAT MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE AREA. SOME
TRAINING OF ECHOES IS EXPECTED WHICH COULD PRODUCE 2 TO 4 INCHES OF
RAIN OVER VOLUSIA AND BREVARD COUNTIES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. THIS COULD AGGRAVATE ONGOING FLOODING AND STANDING WATER
CONDITIONS IN SOME AREAS...AND ALSO CAUSE ADDITIONAL POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE HISTORICALLY VULNERABLE
TO FLOODING.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
STRONG LOW LEVEL NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL PRODUCE GUSTY CONDITIONS
THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS VOLUSIA...BREVARD AND INDIAN RIVER
COUNTIES WHERE A HIGH WIND WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
POWER OUTAGES AND MINOR DAMAGE WILL BE LIKELY...ESPECIALLY FROM
FALLING TREES AND TREE LIMBS DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED WATERLOGGED
CONDITIONS. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING
ALONG THE COAST ACROSS SAINT LUCIE AND MARTIN COUNTIES AND A LAKE
WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS.

.COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT...
THE OCEAN WILL BE LIKE A WASHING MACHINE THROUGH TONIGHT AS GUSTY
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS OVER THE ATLANTIC GENERATE HIGH SEAS AND
FREQUENT LARGE BREAKING WAVES ALONG THE BEACHES AND JETTIES. A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT. DUE TO THE PROLONGED NATURE OF THIS
LARGE WAVE EVENT...BEACH EROSION IS EXPECTED TO BECOME SIGNIFICANT.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
ALTHOUGH THE PRIMARY BEACH THREAT WILL BE LARGE BREAKING WAVES...
DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS OCCUR DURING LARGE WAVE EVENTS...MAINLY ALONG
PIERS AND JETTIES.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
WIDESPREAD SQUALLS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS BETWEEN 50 AND 60 KNOTS...MAINLY NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
THERE IS A LOW THREAT FOR WATERSPOUTS OVER THE ATLANTIC AND
INTRACOASTAL WATERS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
EASTERLY WINDS OF 30 TO AROUND 40 KNOTS WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 50
KNOTS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET WILL PRODUCE VERY
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT. WAVE HEIGHTS TO AROUND 20 FEET
WILL OCCUR IN THE OPEN ATLANTIC. A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH
THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON MONDAY BUT SEAS WILL BE SLOW TO SUBSIDE...
WHICH WILL CAUSE DANGEROUS BOATING CONDITIONS NEAR INLETS. ROUGH
SURF WILL LINGER ON MONDAY AND RIP CURRENTS WILL BE A HAZARD INTO
MID WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND REPORT MINOR
DAMAGE...FLOODING...HIGH WINDS AND RAINFALL TOTALS OVER 3 INCHES.

...DAMAGING WINDS CONTINUE ALONG THE NORTHERN BREVARD COAST NEAR
CAPE CANAVERAL...

LATEST DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT
THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER HAS DRIFTED NORTHWARD AND IS CURRENTLY JUST
TO THE SOUTHEAST OF CAPE CANAVERAL. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE NORTHWEST INTO THE NORTHERN BREVARD COAST.

THE BAND OF STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS COASTAL NORTHERN
BREVARD COUNTY IS SLOWLY MOVING WESTWARD AND IS APPROACHING
MAINLAND PORTIONS OF NORTHERN BREVARD COUNTY. NUMEROUS WIND TOWERS
AROUND CAPE CANAVERAL CONTINUE TO REPORT GUSTS BETWEEN 60 AND 65
MPH...WITH TWO TOWERS REPORTING GUSTS TO 75 MPH.

FREQUENT GUSTS OF 60 TO 70 MPH WILL CONTINUE ACROSS COCOA
BEACH...PORT CANAVERAL...THE MERRITT ISLAND WILDLIFE REFUGE...AND
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER THROUGH THE NEXT HOUR. WINDS WILL BE INCREASING
ALONG THE MAINLAND PRIMARILY ALONG AND EAST OF US 1 NORTH OF
ROCKLEDGE WHICH WILL SEE FREQUENT GUSTS UP 50 MPH...INCREASING TO 60
MPH TOWARDS MIDNIGHT.

AS THIS LOW MOVES TO THE NORTHWEST...WINDS WILL INCREASE ALONG THE
VOLUSIA COUNTY COAST EAST OF I-95 WITH FREQUENT GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH
EXPECTED TO BEGIN OVER THE NEXT HOUR.

MINOR TO MODERATE DAMAGE REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED ACROSS COASTAL
NORTHERN BREVARD AND COASTAL VOLUSIA COUNTIES...AND ADDITIONAL
DAMAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH THESE
WINDS. THE EXTREMELY MOIST GROUND WILL MAKE DOWNED TREES AND POWER
LINES LIKELY. THESE WIND SPEEDS WILL ALSO CAUSE DAMAGE TO ROOFS AND
SMALL OBJECTS BECOMING AIRBORNE. WINDS OF THESE SPEEDS WILL CHURN UP
WAVES WITHIN LOCAL MARINAS WHICH MAY CAUSE BOATS TO BECOME LOOSE
FROM THEIR MOORINGS AND DAMAGE TO DOCKS AND MAY CAUSE MINOR FLOODING
ALONG BEACH AND RIVER FRONT LOCATIONS. THESE WINDS WILL ALSO MAKE
DRIVING ACROSS LOCAL CAUSEWAYS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS...ESPECIALLY FOR
HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
