Scattered showers are expected to develop into lightning storms during the late afternoon and evening hours, as the east and west coast sea breeze boundaries push slowly inland, interact with the larger lake breeze boundaries and eventually collide on the east side of the peninsula this evening. Activity is then expected to drift back towards the coast into tonight. Storm motion will be toward the east to northeast at 15 to 25 mph. The primary threats from storms today will be occasional lightning strikes, gusty winds up to 40 mph and heavy rain. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A Moderate risk of dangerous rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Check with the local beach patrol for additional information about ocean hazards and heed the advice of lifeguards. Always swim near a lifeguard and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Storms that form this afternoon and evening will move toward the east or northeast at 15 to 20 knots and affect portions of the inland lakes, intracoastal, and nearshore Atlantic waters. Wind gusts up to 35 knots will be possible in the stronger storms. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... North to northwest winds will increase 15 to 20 knots behind a cool front late tonight over the Volusia waters. Seas up to 6 feet will be possible late tonight well offshore north of the Cape. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... The fire weather danger remains high today across east central Florida, inland from I-95, due to a combination of ongoing drought conditions and low afternoon relative humidity. Outdoor burning remains highly discouraged! Temporary burn bans are in effect for Brevard, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties. Remember to dispose of cigarette butts in their proper receptacles and never discard them outdoors or throw them out of car windows. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. Increasing north then northeast winds behind a cold frontal passage Sunday will result in windy conditions along the coast, with very hazardous boating and surf conditions through early next week. Breaking waves of 6 to 8 feet, and possibly higher, will produce rough surf and beach erosion around the times of high tide beginning late Sunday and continuing through at least Tuesday. The Volusia coast is especially vulnerable to wave runup given the loss of dunes and seawalls as a result of tropical cyclones Ian and Nicole last year. An unsettled pattern will continue this week with scattered to numerous showers and isolated storms each day. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. Kelly/Leahy
