Sufficient daytime heating combined with deep tropical moisture and local sea/lake breeze effects will produce numerous to widespread showers and scattered lightning storms across east central Florida today. Activity will be limited to light showers prior to noon this morning, but increase throughout the afternoon and continue through early evening. The highest coverage of precipitation today is expected between 2 and 8 PM, as storms move fairly quickly toward the northeast at around 25 to 30 MPH in southwest steering flow. Torrential rain, brief gusty winds of 40 to 50 MPH, and frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes are possible with the strongest storms today. Move indoors to safety if you hear thunder or if skies look threatening. .FLOOD IMPACT... Between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall in a one to two hour period is expected with the most intense storms this afternoon, especially over the east coast counties. This may cause temporary inundation of roads and other poor drainage areas, especially in locations which received heavy rainfall over the past few days. Motorists should reduce their speed when encountering heavy rain, and never drive into areas where water covers the roadway. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A longshore current running form south to north is expected in the surf zone at the central Florida Atlantic beaches again today due to a persistent moderate southeast breeze. To avoid the northward pull of a longshore current today, swim toward shore, but remember to avoid any rip currents that you might encounter. Never try and swim directly against any current, whether it is a rip current or a longshore current, and always swim in sight of a lifeguard. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Wind gusts of at least 35 knots will be possible over the near shore Atlantic, Intracoastal Waterway, and on inland lakes. Boaters should be on the lookout for storms approaching quickly from the southwest, and move to safe harbor if storms threaten. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. The low pressure system over the northeast Gulf will move inland over the Gulf Coast states and weaken by late today, however, deep tropical moisture will remain in place through this weekend. Numerous showers and a few storms are expected each day, mainly during the afternoon and early evening. Locally heavy rain is expected, with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches in the most intense storms, along with deadly cloud to ground lightning and brief gusty winds. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today. Smith/Cristaldi
