WEST COAST SEA BREEZE ENHANCED BY THE DEEP WESTERLY FLOW WILL PUSH ACROSS THE PENINSULA AND DELAY THE ONSET OF THE EAST COAST BREEZE...IF ANY..BEACHSIDE UNTIL MID/LATE AFTERNOON. DRY MID LEVELS SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTIVE BUILDUP BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW LIGHTNING STORMS AS CUMULUS THAT START DEVELOPING JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST...START PUSHING EAST AND INTERACT WITH THE STRUGGLING SEA BREEZE. EXPECT LOTS OF LIGHTNING AS TYPICAL WITH SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY STORMS...MANY COULD BE CLOUD TO GROUND AND 2 INCH PER HOUR DOWNPOURS. UPPER AIR PROFILES SHOWED POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS AGAIN...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AS THE CELLS APPROACH THE COASTLINE AND INTERACT WITH THE MARINE LAYER AND EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. && .MARINE...MAIN CONCERN FOR BOATERS WILL BE OFFSHORE MOVING THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY IN THE LATE AFTN AND EARLY EVE HOURS.

LUCIE- 615 AM EDT FRI JUN 17 2005 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT ...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... WESTERLY WINDS WILL USHER SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR ACROSS FLORIDA TODAY WHICH WILL TEND TO LIMIT OVERALL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL DELAY THE FORMATION OF THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE UNTIL MID AFTERNOON AND WILL KEEP IT PINNED OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES. ISOLATED STORMS WILL FORM OVER THE INTERIOR IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND WILL MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO 15 MPH. AS STORMS BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL INCREASE. FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES...LOCALLY STRONG DOWN BURSTS OF WIND... AND ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY NEAR THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND OVER THE OPEN ATLANTIC. LIGHTNING IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER FROM SUMMER THUNDERSTORMS. SEEK SHELTER IN AN ENCLOSED STURDY BUILDING OR HARDTOP VEHICLE IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES. ...FLOOD IMPACT... A STRONGER STEERING FLOW AND DRIER AIR COMPARED TO THE LAST FEW DAYS WILL LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL AND FLOODING POTENTIAL OVER EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. HOWEVER...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG PORTIONS OF THE EAST COAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON WHERE STORMS MAY PRODUCE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF RAIN LOCALLY. SUCH HEAVY DOWN POURS...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE THE SOIL HAS BEEN SATURATED FROM RECENT HEAVY RAIN...WILL AGGRAVATE ANY ONGOING STANDING WATER PROBLEMS. ...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... BOATERS ARE ADVISED THAT AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING OFF THE EAST COAST...ACROSS THE INTRACOASTAL AND NEAR SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. THE STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF GENERATING FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS. ...WATERSPOUT IMPACT... WITH THE EAST COAST SEABREEZE EXPECTED TO REMAIN EAST OF I-95... AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS COULD INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS THEY PUSH OVER THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND INTO THE NEARSHORE ATLANTIC WATERS. SUCH STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF SPINNING UP A WATERSPOUT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN... STORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE SATURDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER DISTURBANCE. THE MODEL TREND IS TO BRING IN DRIER AIR EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH DEEP MOISTURE STAYING SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA. DAILY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE IF NEEDED. BRAGAW
