PREVIOUS EXTENDED DISCUSSION THU-SUN...A MID-LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS FORECAST TO MOVE OVER TOP A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND ENCOMPASS THE EASTERN U.S. TOWARDS LATE WEEK.

DEEP LAYER SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DEVELOP THU-FRI BECOMING MORE WESTERLY INTO THE WEEKEND. SUFFICIENT MOISTURE...THE DAILY SEA BREEZE REGIME AND VARIOUS OTHER AFTERNOON BOUNDARY COLLISIONS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A 40 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE POP THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

LUCIE-MARTIN-COASTAL VOLUSIA- SOUTHERN LAKE-NORTHERN BREVARD- 1130 AM EDT MON JUL 21 2014 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... ADDITIONAL DEEP MOISTURE WILL BUILD INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA FROM THE SOUTH TODAY. THE INCREASED MOISTURE COMBINED WITH INSTABILITY PROVIDED BY AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE NORTH WILL PRODUCE AN INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TODAY COMPARED TO PAST DAYS. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL FORM FIRST NEAR THE TREASURE COAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH ACTIVITY EXPANDING NORTHWARD ALONG THE DEVELOPING EAST COAST SEA BREEZE. THROUGH MID AND LATE AFTERNOON COVERAGE WILL SHIFT INTO THE INTERIOR AS THE SEA BREEZE PUSHES INLAND. BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS OVER THE INTERIOR WILL ENHANCE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WEST OF I 95 THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON. STEERING FLOW WILL BE WEAK RESULTING IN SLOW STORM MOTION AND LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN. A FEW WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. DEADLY CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WILL ALWAYS BE A THREAT FROM SUMMER FLORIDA LIGHTNING STORMS. .FLOOD IMPACT... STORM MOTION WILL BE SLOW SO A FEW OF THE STRONGER ONES COULD DUMP A QUICK 2 OR 3 INCHES OF RAIN...CAUSING CONSIDERABLE WATER PONDING ON ROADWAYS. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... AN EAST SWELL WILL RESULT IN AN ENHANCED THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE BREVARD AND VOLUSIA COUNTY COASTLINES. BEACHGOERS SHOULD ONLY SWIM AT GUARDED BEACHES AND SHOULD CHECK WITH BEACH PATROL ABOUT OCEAN HAZARDS BEFORE ENTERING THE SURF. NEVER SWIM IN THE OCEAN ALONE. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... THERE IS A CHANCE FOR STORMS WITH GUSTY 30 TO 35 KNOT WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL AGAIN BE OVER THE PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. STORM MOTION WILL BE SLOW AND ERRATIC. BOATERS ON INLAND LAKES SHOULD PLAN TO GET OFF THE WATERS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. A CONTINUED LIGHT SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WIND FLOW WILL KEEP HIGH MOISTURE OVER THE AREA INTO LATE WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED AFTERNOON TO EVENING STORMS WITH THE HIGHEST COVERAGE FAVORING THE INTERIOR. A MORE SOUTHWEST WIND FLOW LATE IN THE WEEK SHOULD START TO BRING A HIGHER COVERAGE BACK TO THE COAST. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO MONITOR THE WEATHER AND SELF ACTIVATE IF NEEDED. PB/RL
