Hazardous Weather Outlook...UPDATED National Weather Service Melbourne FL 1213 PM EDT Wed May 27 2020 AMZ550-552-555-570-572-575-FLZ041-044>047-053-054-058-059-064-141- 144-147-280000- Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line 0-20 nm-Volusia- Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 0-20 nm- Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet 0-20 nm-Flagler Beach to Volusia- Brevard County Line 20-60 nm-Volusia- Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 20-60 nm- Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet 20-60 nm-Inland Volusia- Northern Lake-Orange-Seminole-Southern Brevard-Osceola- Indian River-Okeechobee-St. Lucie-Martin-Coastal Volusia- Southern Lake-Northern Brevard- 1213 PM EDT Wed May 27 2020 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue across east central Florida through this afternoon and evening, with the greatest coverage of storms along the coast. Storm motion will be towards the northeast or east at 10 to 15 mph. The strongest storms will produce dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes, gusty winds up to around 50 mph, and torrential downpours. Remember that lightning can strike more than 10 miles away from a storm, and just because you do not hear thunder, does not mean you are safe from lightning. If you see lightning nearby, go into a sturdy building and wait for the storms to pass before returning outdoors. .FLOOD IMPACT... A localized flooding concern exists today, especially in Martin County due to recent heavy rainfall. Storms will be capable of producing 1 to 2 inches of rain in a short duration, and this heavy rain could lead to minor flooding of streets, and low lying and poor drainage areas. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... There is a moderate risk of life threatening rip currents today at all east central Florida beaches. While dangerous rip currents will be present all day the risk will be greatest after 3 PM this afternoon, due to tidal effects. Be sure to always swim at a life guarded beach and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Numerous showers and thunderstorms will move offshore this afternoon and early evening, and some of the stronger storms could produce wind gusts in excess of 34 knots. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms will occur each afternoon and early evening for the rest of this week and into the weekend. Deadly cloud to ground lightning strikes, localized flooding from heavy rainfall, and gusty winds are the main threats. The risk of rip currents will be remain moderate for the rest of this week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed this afternoon and tonight. Rodriguez/Sedlock/Combs
