EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
11 AM EDT THU JUN 14 2001

...A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...

SCATTERED LIGHTNING STORMS WILL FORM OVER THE CENTRAL FLORIDA
INTERIOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS WILL
INCREASE THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...AS THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE AND
OUTFLOWS FROM STORMS OVER THE INTERIOR MOVE TOWARD THE EAST COAST
AND INTERACT WITH THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE.

COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES ALOFT SHOULD ALLOW A FEW STORMS TO
BECOME SEVERE...PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS ABOVE 50 MPH AND HAIL
THE SIZE OF COINS. THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
ACROSS THE EAST COAST COUNTIES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING.

THE STRONG STORMS CAN PRODUCE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
MOVE INDOORS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING SKIES AND STAY AWAY
FROM WINDOWS. LIGHTNING AND STRONG WIND GUSTS CAN OCCUR WELL BEFORE
THE RAIN.

FOR MARINE INTERESTS...A SOUTHWEST STEERING WIND WILL STEER STORMS
TO THE EAST COAST...MAINLY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. BOATERS AND BEACH VISITORS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR STORMS
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...AND PLAN TO TAKE SHELTER BEFORE THE
STORMS ARE OVERHEAD. WINDS AND SEAS MAY INCREASE SUDDENLY AS THE
STORMS MOVE OFF SHORE.

SKYWARN SPOTTERS SHOULD SELF ACTIVATE IF SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP.
REPORT SEVERE WEATHER TO THE MELBOURNE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
