THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Showers and isolated storms will develop along and ahead of a
passing cold front, pushing east to northeast across the area and
offshore through this morning and early afternoon. Any storms may
be able to produce strong wind gusts up to 40 to 45 mph, small
hail, lightning strikes and heavy downpours. Greatest potential
for any isolated stronger storms will be near to south of a line
from Melbourne to Lake Kissimmee from late this morning and early
afternoon.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
Breezy to windy conditions will develop today behind a passing
cold front. Winds will become northwest, with speeds between 15
to 25 mph, and gusts at times up to 35 mph possible from late
morning through this afternoon.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A High Risk of dangerous rip currents exists at all central
Florida Atlantic beaches today. Entering the surf is not advised.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Isolated storms that develop along and ahead of the passing cold
front will be capable of producing wind gusts around 35 knots as
they shift east-northeast across the area and offshore through the
morning and early afternoon.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Poor boating conditions this morning will become hazardous across
the coastal waters as winds increase with a passing cold front
over the area. West to southwest winds up to 15 to 20 knots this
morning will become north to northwest around 20 to 25 knots into
the afternoon. Occasional gusts up to 35 knots will be possible
over the offshore waters during the afternoon and evening hours.
Seas will build up to 6 to 8 feet offshore through the afternoon,
and up to 7 to 10 feet across the waters into tonight.

A Small Craft Advisory goes into effect offshore by late morning
and expands to include all of the waters at 2 PM this afternoon.
The Small Craft Advisory will then continue across the entire
coastal waters into tonight.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
Breezy to windy northwest winds and lowering relative humidity
values into the afternoon will lead to an increase in fire
sensitivity today.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
Northerly winds will gradually diminish into tomorrow, but boating
conditions will remain poor to hazardous Friday into Friday night
as seas remain elevated, especially across the gulf stream
waters.

Much drier air will produce low relative humidity values during
the afternoon hours on Friday and into the weekend, leading to
sensitive fire weather conditions.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
