Scattered to numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected this afternoon across the Treasure Coast towards Lake Okeechobee. Storms will be slower moving with the potential for frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds of 40 mph with heavy downpours. .FLOOD IMPACT... Higher moisture in place over South FL will enhance the potential for heavy rain this afternoon across the Treasure Coast towards Lake Okeechobee. Slower moving showers and storms will produce quick heavy downpours in a short period of time. This may contribute to ongoing flood concerns from earlier this month, especially in areas with already saturated ground. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A moderate risk of rip currents will be present at all east central FL beaches today. While rip currents will be present all day, the threat will be highest during the hours surrounding low tide, from the late morning through the late afternoon. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Isolated to scattered thunderstorms from the Treasure Coast towards the Kissimmee River basin could produce gusty winds in excess of 35 knots across the southern Atlantic waters, inland lakes and intracoastal waterways. Mariners should be prepared to seek safe harbor when storms threaten. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River at Astor is forecast to remain in Minor Flood Stage today. Elsewhere along the Saint Johns River, at Sanford and above Lake Harney, the river level is forecast to stay within Action Stage, while at DeLand the river level will remain just below Action Stage for the remainder of the week. Refer to daily Flood Statements from NWS Melbourne for the latest river levels and forecasts. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. Northeast winds will rapidly increase later tonight and into tomorrow leading to breezy conditions at the coast, with hazardous marine conditions developing for small craft operators this weekend. Combining the building seas behind this front with the highest tides of the year, a threat for coastal flooding will be present beginning at tomorrow morning's high tide, and lasting into early next week. Minor beach erosion, rough surf and a very high risk of rip currents is anticipated this weekend. A Coastal Flood Watch has been issued for impacts beginning early tomorrow morning. A gradual increase in the river levels along the Saint Johns River is expected Friday into this weekend as northeast winds increase and above normal high tides cause water to backup along the Upper and Middle Saint Johns River Basin. This may lead to the Saint Johns River at Astor rising very near to Moderate Flood Stage. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. Smith
