Long period northeast swells will produce a moderate rip current threat at east central Florida beaches today. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing swiftly away from shore and most often occur at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and near jetties and piers. If you become caught in a rip current...yell for help. Remain calm...do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current...swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. Always swim near a lifeguard and do not swim alone. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... A frontal boundary will move across the waters this evening and overnight and bring strong and gusty northeast winds across the Atlantic waters. Boating conditions will become poor to hazardous for small craft. Small craft advisories will go in effect across the east central Florida Atlantic waters tonight. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... There will be a slight chance for lightning storms across the Atlantic tonight mainly over the warmer gulf stream waters. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... Low relative humidity and dry vegetation will produce a moderate to high fire danger across east central Florida today. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. Rough and pounding surf is expected at the beaches through Saturday with an elevated risk for rip currents. Strong and gusty onshore winds will also make wind and seas hazardous for small craft operators into the upcoming weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today. Bragaw
