THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.DENSE FOG/SMOKE IMPACT...
Patchy, locally dense fog has been observed across portions of
the Treasure Coast this morning. Motorists should exercise caution
if encountering fog while driving until fog dissipates by mid
morning.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A Marginal Risk of severe storms exists along and east of the I-95
corridor as storms develop along the sea breeze this afternoon.
Strong to marginally severe storms will be capable of locally
damaging wind gusts, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning strikes,
and coin sized hail. In addition, a tornado cannot be ruled out
as boundary collisions occur along the sea breeze.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Lightning storms along and east of the I-95 corridor may produce
localized heavy rainfall. Minor flooding will be possible,
leading to ponding of water on roadways and within poor drainage
areas.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
Above normal temperatures, combined with increased moisture, will
produce peak heat index values between 104-110 degrees this
afternoon. A Heat Advisory is in effect for southern portions of
east-central Florida. Practice heat safety if outdoors by taking
breaks in air-conditioned spaces and staying hydrated.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Strong lightning storms this afternoon will be capable of
producing wind gusts of 34 knots or greater across the local
Atlantic waters, intracoastal waterways, and inland lakes.

.WATERSPOUT IMPACT...
A waterspout is possible from the Intracoastal Waterway to the
local Atlantic waters this afternoon and evening, especially where
storm-scale boundary collisions occur.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
Dry fuels across southern areas will increase the risk of fire
starts due to frequent lightning strikes.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
A Marginal Risk of severe storms exists on Sunday as a cold front
approaches east central Florida. Strong to damaging wind gusts,
hail, and frequent lightning strikes will be the primary threats.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed.
