Scattered to numerous showers and storms are forecast to develop this afternoon into the early evening hours across east central Florida as a weak front moves northward. Stronger storms will be capable of producing wind gusts up to 45 mph, frequent lightning strikes, torrential downpours, and small hail. Move indoors to safety at the first sign of threatening skies, or if you hear thunder. .FLOOD IMPACT... Storms will be capable of very heavy rain, accumulating up to 3 inches in an hour or two in localized areas, especially south of Orlando and the Cape. Rapid ponding of water and temporary flooding of some roads and poor drainage areas will be possible. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A moderate risk of rip currents exists at all east central Florida beaches today. Always swim near a lifeguard, and never enter the ocean alone. Heed the advice of lifeguards and local beach patrol. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Scattered to numerous showers and storms are forecast to develop across the local Atlantic waters, inland lakes, and intracoastal waterways this afternoon into the early evening hours. Frequent lightning strikes and wind gusts up to 40 knots will be possible with the strongest storms. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... North to northeast winds through Saturday will keep the Saint Johns River near Action Stage into late week. Additional slight rises are possible into late week as low pressure develops east of the area with breezy north to northeast flow developing. Although water levels will remain elevated along the St Johns in the Astor area, it will likely remain in Action Stage. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. A moderate to high risk of strong rip currents is forecast to continue through this weekend. Above normal coverage of lightning storms is forecast. Heavy rainfall, gusty winds and cloud to ground lightning strikes will be the main storm threats. Low pressure is forecast to develop offshore the Florida Atlantic coast late this week, which could bring strong and gusty onshore winds, bands of heavy rain, high surf, and beach erosion to portions of east central Florida. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. However, spotters are requested to contact the National Weather Service in Melbourne for measured rainfall accumulations greater than 3 inches. Tollefsen/Smith
