A LOW LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS COMBINED WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED WELL NORTH OF THE STATE WILL PROVIDE A MOIST NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND FLOW OFF OF THE ATLANTIC. THE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BE STRONGEST FROM BREVARD COUNTY NORTHWARD...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN THE MOST PERSISTENT SHOWERS AND STORMS OCCURRING THERE THROUGH TONIGHT. WHILE A DRIER AIR MASS LIMITED SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS YESTERDAY...MORE COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TODAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE MAIN HAZARDS SHOULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...OCCASIONAL TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY WINDS TO 40 MPH. ...FLOOD IMPACT... GUSTY ONSHORE FLOW AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE USUALLY RESULT IN SOME HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST WHERE SHOWERS REPEATEDLY MOVE ACROSS THE SAME AREA. THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR THIS SHOULD BE IN BREVARD AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES. THE JACKSONVILLE AREA EXPERIENCED FLOODING PROBLEMS ON MONDAY...SO THOSE TRAVELING TODAY ALONG COASTAL SECTIONS SHOULD BE PREPARED IF HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS DEVELOP. ...COASTAL FLOOD IMPACT... THOUGH CLOUDS AND SHOWERS WILL MAKE FOR A POOR BEACH DAY...BREAKING WAVES ALONG THE BEACHES WILL PRODUCE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR ANYONE WHO VENTURES INTO THE WARM OCEAN WATERS. THE WAVES COULD KNOCK YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO RIP CURRENTS OR LONGSHORE CURRENTS. ...MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL AFFECT MOST OF THE WATERS TODAY. SOME WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED ALONG WITH TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES. ...WIND AND SEA IMPACT... NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS FROM CAPE CANAVERAL NORTHWARD ARE EXPECTED TODAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN HAZARDOUS SEAS UP TO 7 FEET THROUGH TONIGHT. BOATERS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS WHERE A NORTHEAST SWELL COMBINED WITH 10 TO 15 KNOT WINDS WILL PRODUCE SEAS OF 4 TO 6 FEET. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE LOW LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE PENINSULA ON WEDNESDAY... THEN A LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO LATE IN THE WEEK. THIS WILL PRODUCE A MORE SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW AND MAINTAIN DEEP MOISTURE. A HIGHER THAN NORMAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
