A few storms will become strong, containing winds gusts up to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes, and very heavy rainfall. .FLOOD IMPACT... Local heavy rain up to 3 inches will cause temporary flooding of some roads and low lying areas. The highest threat for heavy rain will be along and north of the I-4 Corridor from late afternoon through early evening. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A small east swell will generate a moderate rip current threat along the beaches of east central Florida. Always swim within sight of a lifeguard. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered to numerous lightning storms are expected to develop this afternoon and early evening as the east and west coast sea breeze boundaries push inland and collide over the east side of the peninsula.

Gusty winds of 35 to 40 knots and frequent lightning strikes will be the primary hazards. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
