Scattered to numerous showers and scattered lightning storms are expected this afternoon with storm motion generally to the east at 5 to 10 mph. Primary storm threats remain gusty winds up to 30 to 45 mph, occasional to frequent lightning strikes, and locally heavy rainfall. .EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IMPACT... Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches (locally up to 4 inches) over already saturated ground will have the potential to produce minor flooding of urban, low-lying, and poor drainage areas. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Very warm temperatures and high humidity will combine to produce peak afternoon heat index values of 102 to 107 degrees with up to 110 degrees across portions of Okeechobee, Saint Lucie and Martin counties. A Heat Advisory is in effect this afternoon for the aforementioned three counties. A Moderate to High Heat Risk exists across all of east central Florida today. This level of heat can affect anyone without adequate precautions. It is recommended to take frequent breaks from the heat and stay hydrated, especially if spending extended periods of time outdoors during the afternoon. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents exists at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Remember to always swim near a lifeguard and never enter the water alone. .RIVER FLOOD IMPACT... The Saint Johns River at Astor is forecast to remain in Moderate Flood stage. The potential for small additional rises exists if locally heavy rainfall develops over the river basin. Please refer to the associated Flood Warning for the Saint Johns River at Astor for more information. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. Scattered showers and lightning storms are forecast on Sunday into next week. The main hazards will be locally heavy rainfall, lightning strikes, and gusty winds. Warm temperatures and high humidity will produce peak heat index values up to 100 to 107 degrees through early next week. Slightly lower humidity mid week next week will allow heat index values to fall into the low 100s. A Moderate to High risk of dangerous rip currents is expected at the beaches through the extended. High astronomical tides will produce above normal water levels around the times of high tide from Sunday evening through much of next week. This may cause minor inundation of low lying properties near inlets, nearby areas along the Intracoastal Waterway, and adjacent canals. Some docks may briefly get overtopped by water. Increasing long period swells will build seas Sunday through Tuesday with poor to hazardous boating conditions forecast over the local Atlantic. Flooding along the Saint Johns River (particularly at Astor) will continue Sunday through the middle of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. Fehling/Sedlock
