THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
DEEP MOISTURE AND FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE TODAY AS AN EASTERLY WAVE MOVES NORTH OUT OF THE REGION
INTO THE SOUTHEAST.

SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST BY EARLY
AFTERNOON AS THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE COMES ASHORE AND PUSHES
INLAND. COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AS BOTH THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES MOVE INTO
THE INTERIOR...AND ALONG OTHER LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES. A COLLISION
OF THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZE IS EXPECTED EARLY THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE INTERIOR ALONG THE INTERSTATE FOUR CORRIDOR. A
LIGHT OFFSHORE STEERING FLOW WILL PUSH A FEW STORMS BACK TOWARDS
THE COAST MAINLY IN BREVARD AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES.

FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH
MAY OCCUR WITH STRONGER STORMS TODAY. A FEW FUNNEL CLOUDS WILL BE

.FLOOD IMPACT...
LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF UP TO 3 INCHES WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH SLOWER MOVING MID TO LATE AFTERNOON LIGHTNING
STORMS. THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME CAN CAUSE
PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND MINOR FLOODING IN LOW LYING
AREAS. AREAS FROM THE INTERSTATE FOUR CORRIDOR WEST ARE MOST
LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
LOCAL ATLANTIC NORTH OF SEBASTIAN INLET. A FEW GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS
HAVE OCCURRED WITH THIS ACTIVITY...AND ADDITIONAL GUSTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES OFF TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST AT 5
TO 10 KNOTS.

ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG BOTH THE EAST AND
WEST COAST SEA BREEZES AS THEY MOVE INLAND. ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT
THE INTRACOASTAL WATERS EARLY AFTERNOON AND INLAND LAKES THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW STORMS WILL ALSO MOVE OFF THE
COAST INTO THIS EVENING AS STORMS MOVE OFF TO THE EAST NORTHEAST
AT AROUND 10 KNOTS. STORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT MAY PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS TO AROUND 35 KNOTS IN ADDITION TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING
STRIKES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND LIGHTNING STORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE WEEKEND. INCREASING EASTERLY FLOW WILL FOCUS
ACTIVITY OVER THE INTERIOR BY MID NEXT WEEK.
