Scattered showers and isolated storms will continue to move across northern sections of east central Florida this afternoon. Isolated showers and storms will also be possible farther south during the mid to late afternoon, including the Treasure Coast counties with sea breeze boundary interactions. The main threats from any storms will be dangerous cloud to ground lightning and heavy downpours. However isolated stronger storms may be able to produce strong wind gusts up to 40 to 50 mph, especially across northern sections, including Lake and Volusia counties. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Any storms that push eastward and offshore could produce wind gusts to around 35 knots, especially north of Melbourne. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Southwest winds will increase up to 15 to 20 knots offshore into tonight. Small craft operators should exercise caution if venturing into these waters. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... Above normal temperatures and continued dry vegetation will lead to a High fire danger across much of east central Florida. Any new or ongoing brush fires will be capable of spreading rapidly. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. The threat of lightning storms will increase over central Florida by early Tuesday as an energetic mid level wave, increasing moisture and an acceleration of local low to mid level wind fields will lead to a threat of strong to severe storms, initially over north central Florida during the morning with increasing likelihood of an organized line of storms moving across the peninsula near Orlando and Osceola county, to include the Space Coast into early afternoon. The main threats will be the possibility of strong to damaging straight line winds, but an isolated tornado will also be possible along with deadly lighting and heavy rain. The threat for strong storms will diminish by late afternoon Tuesday. Building winds and seas will make for hazardous boating conditions Tuesday night and through the middle of this week over the Atlantic waters. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters across northern Lake and Volusia counties should monitor the weather and self activate if needed. Weitlich/Pendergrast/Glitto
