THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO REACH LAKE AND
VOLUSIA COUNTIES BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE SOUTHWARD OVER
THE REGION THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. STORMS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS AROUND 60 MPH
AND HAIL QUARTER SIZED OR GREATER AS IT INITIALLY MOVES INTO AREAS
NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 4. STORM MOTION WILL BE QUICKLY TOWARD THE
EAST-NORTHEAST AROUND 50 MPH.

AS THIS BAND CONTINUES TO MOVE FARTHER SOUTH OF THE ORLANDO AREA IT
IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN. HOWEVER STRONG STORMS WILL STILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING...WIND GUSTS AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH AND SMALL HAIL.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
WINDS WILL QUICKLY INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TODAY UP TO 20 TO
25 MPH WITH FREQUENT GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH INTO THE AFTERNOON.

THESE STRONG WINDS WILL BLOW LOOSE OBJECTS AROUND AND CAN MAKE
HIGH SPEED TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS DIFFICULT FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES.
THESE CONDITIONS WILL ALSO MAKE BOATING ON INLAND LAKES AND
WATERWAYS VERY DANGEROUS. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE
MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PRODUCE ROUGHER SURF ALONG AREA
BEACHES TODAY. ALSO A SMALL SWELL WILL PRODUCE A LOW TO MODERATE
THREAT OF RIP CURRENTS. ALWAYS SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD AND NEVER
SWIM ALONE.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL MOVE INTO NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA
EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD OVER THE
AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. STORMS ALONG THIS LINE WILL MOVE
QUICKLY TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST AROUND 50 KNOTS AND WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 KNOTS.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS TODAY AS
WINDS STRENGTHEN OUT OF THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST UP TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG AS
THEY VEER TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST INTO TONIGHT WITH THE FRONT
MOVING ACROSS THE WATERS. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GOES INTO EFFECT
FOR THE ENTIRE COASTAL WATERS BY LATE THIS MORNING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVER MUCH OF THE
COASTAL WATERS EARLY THIS WEEK AS ELEVATED NORTHWEST WINDS
CONTINUE.

DRIER AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL INCREASE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.

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