Scattered lightning storms are forecast today. These will produce occasional to frequent lightning, gusty winds from 35 to 45 mph, and locally heavy rain. There is a Marginal Risk that repeated storms will cause excessive rainfall of 2 to 4 inches on an isolated basis. This could lead to localized flooding of urban and poor drainage areas. .HIGH WIND IMPACT... As Tropical Storm Debby remains to the north of our local area, southwest wind gusts from 25 to 35 mph are forecast today. Keep loose, lightweight items secured. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... We will turn hotter this afternoon, with low 90s forecast. Heat index readings should top out from 100 to 107 degrees. Stay hydrated, and seek breaks in the shade or air conditioning if you begin to feel unwell. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... There is a Moderate Risk of life-threatening rip currents at Atlantic beaches. Remember to always swim in front of a lifeguard, and never swim alone. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Strong offshore winds from 20 to 30 knots will only slowly subside today, particularly offshore. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the entire local Atlantic until this afternoon. By this evening, the Small Craft Advisory will continue over the offshore waters and nearshore Volusia County. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. Even hotter temperatures are forecast from mid to late this week as rain chances decrease. Highs in the mid 90s, combined with seasonably high humidity, will result in heat indices from 102 to 107 on Wednesday, then 105 to 110 on Thursday and Friday. This Major Heat Risk affects anyone without adequate access to cooling. While storm chances lessen from Wednesday into Thursday, any strong storm that develops will produce gusty winds to 45 mph and frequent lightning. A Moderate Risk of rip currents will continue at our beaches on Wednesday. Boating conditions will improve nearshore first, then offshore later this week as winds slowly subside. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight. Heil
