THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...OVERNIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
OUTER RAINBANDS FROM TROPICAL STORM DEBBY WILL PUSH NORTH AND
NORTHEAST AND SPREAD WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED LIGHTNING
STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA. INCREASED LOW LEVEL SHEAR WITHIN THE
RAINBANDS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FUNNEL CLOUDS AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR COUNTIES.

A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR
LAKE...SEMINOLE...ORANGE...OSCEOLA...OKEECHOBEE...VOLUSIA...BREVARD
AND INDIAN RIVER COUNTIES THROUGH 5 AM.

SEEK SHELTER INDOORS OR IN AN ENCLOSED ALL METAL VEHICLE.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS GENERATED BY
TROPICAL STORM DEBBY WILL PRODUCE PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY BE UP
TO 6 INCHES OVER LAKE COUNTY THROUGH OVERNIGHT. ELSEWHERE...ADJACENT
PORTIONS OF OSCEOLA AND ORANGE COUNTIES MAY SEE 3 TO 5 INCH
AMOUNTS...WHERE PERSISTENT BANDS OF SHOWER ACTIVITY OCCUR.

INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS FROM FLAGLER BEACH
THROUGH VERO BEACH.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
TROPICAL STORM DEBBY WILL DRIFT VERY SLOWLY INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF
OF MEXICO THROUGH TONIGHT. OUTER RAINBANDS WILL SPREAD NORTH AND
EAST ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA...SOME OF WHICH WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS OVER THE LARGER LAKES AS
WELL AS INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE WATERS...MAINLY NORTH OF VERO
BEACH. BOATERS SHOULD USE CAUTION AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE QUICK
EVASIVE ACTION IF A WATERSPOUT IS SEEN.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
SURFACE AND BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL FRESHEN OUT OF THE SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST THROUGH TONIGHT 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SHORT
PERIOD WIND WAVES PRODUCING CHOPPY CONDITIONS WILL MAKE BOATING
CONDITIONS QUITE POOR. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL
EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA COASTAL WATERS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
TROPICAL STORM DEBBY OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO WILL DRIFT
SLOWLY NORTHWARD EARLY THIS WEEK. THIS WILL PULL THE DEEPEST
TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE FLORIDA PENINSULA WITH WIDESPREAD
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED LIGHTNING STORMS THROUGH
TUESDAY. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO INCREASED SURFACE HEATING
MAY RETURN WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL AND
POTENTIAL FLOODING CONCERNS WILL BE AROUND INTO EARLY NEXT
