THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA WILL REMAIN
STATIONARY TODAY...AS WILL A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE STATE.
VERY DEEP MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE COUPLED WITH DAYTIME HEATING
AND LOCAL SEA AND LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES WILL LEAD TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. STORM MOTION WILL BE NORTH TO
NORTHEAST UP TO 10 TO 15 MPH. A FEW STRONGER STORMS COULD PRODUCE
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS...AND
WIND GUSTS TO 40 TO 50 MPH. MOVE INDOORS IF SKIES LOOK
THREATENING...OR IF YOU HEAR THUNDER IN THE DISTANCE.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN A 60 TO 90
MINUTE PERIOD FROM SLOW MOVING STORMS TODAY. THIS WOULD RESULT IN
TEMPORARY FLOODING OF STREETS...INTERSECTIONS...AND OTHER POORLY
DRAINED LOW LYING AREAS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE IN AREAS WHICH
RECEIVED HEAVY RAINS OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCAL WIND GUSTS TO
AROUND 35 KNOTS OVER INLAND LAKES AS WELL AS THE INTRACOASTAL AND
NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. BOATERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR STORMS
APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST TODAY...AND SEEK SAFE
HARBOR IF SKIES LOOK THREATENING.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
THE COMBINATION OF VERY DEEP MOISTURE AND LIGHT ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS
COULD LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNNEL CLOUDS OR WATERSPOUTS NEAR
OR OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY...THE NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC...AND
THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE.

.RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
WATER LEVELS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY RECEDE ALONG SHINGLE CREEK NEAR
CAMPBELL AND ON THE SAINT JOHNS RIVER AT ASTOR. HOWEVER...RAIN
CHANCES REMAIN HIGH...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF
1 TO 3 INCHES OR A LITTLE HIGHER. SHOULD THESE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OCCUR IN THESE LOCATIONS...IT WOULD CAUSE WATER
LEVELS TO RISE ONCE AGAIN. LISTEN FOR ANY STATEMENTS OR UPDATES
FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...OR COUNTY OFFICIALS...IF YOU
LIVE NEAR EITHER OF THESE LOCATIONS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL CHANCES WILL OCCUR THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...
AND THE THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE. LOCALIZED
TEMPORARY FLOODING OF ROADS IN SOME AREAS DURING MOST OF THE
UPCOMING AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING PERIODS. WHILE RAIN CHANCES
REMAIN HIGH FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...FRESHENING ONSHORE FLOW
MAY DECREASE THE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS SLIGHTLY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY. HOWEVER...SPOTTERS
ARE ASKED ONCE AGAIN TO PLEASE REPORT ANY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF TWO
INCHES OR GREATER TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN
MELBOURNE.
