LIGHT WEST WINDS WILL ALLOW BOTH THE EAST AND WEST COAST SEA BREEZES TO FORM THIS AFTERNOON. THE WEST COAST BREEZE...WHICH HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED LATE THIS MORNING...WILL MOVE ACROSS THE INTERIOR COUNTIES ...WHILE THE EAST COAST BREEZE SLOWLY PUSHES ABOUT AS FAR INLAND AS THE SAINT JOHNS RIVER. SHOWERS AND LIGHTNING STORMS WILL FORM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AROUND LAKE OKEECHOBEE AS THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE INTERACTS WITH THE LAKE BREEZE. MORE STORMS WILL DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON NORTH OF THE LAKE AS THE SEA BREEZES AND OUTFLOWS FROM OTHER STORMS INTERACT OVER THE INTERIOR. STORMS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

SOME OF THE STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF LAKE OKEECHOBEE. HOWEVER...IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ALL LIGHTNING STORMS ARE POTENTIAL KILLERS. MOVE INDOORS AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING SKIES AS LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE WELL BEYOND THE AUDIBLE RANGE OF THUNDER. IN ADDITION...DUE TO THE SLOW STORM MOVEMENT...STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN. MINOR FLOODING OF URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS MAY OCCUR. FOR MARINE INTERESTS...STORMS WHICH DEVELOP OVER LAND COULD DRIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE WATERS FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. MARINERS AND BEACH GOERS SHOULD KEEP BE ALERT FOR STORMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST LATE TODAY. PLAN TO TAKE SHELTER BEFORE STORMS ARE OVERHEAD.
