THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Isolated lightning storms will be possible late overnight and early
Thursday morning ahead of an approaching cold front, mainly along
and north of the I-4 corridor. Any storms that develop will have the
potential to produce strong wind gusts up to 40 to 45 mph and small
hail as they move east to northeast at 35 to 40 mph.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A HIGH risk of life-threatening rip currents and rough surf will
continue at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Entering the surf
is not advised.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Isolated lightning storms that push off of the Volusia coast late
overnight and around daybreak Thursday morning will be capable of
producing wind gusts near or in excess of 35 knots.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Poor boating conditions continue across Gulf Stream overnight for
southerly winds of 15 to 20 knots and seas building to 4 to 6 feet.
Small craft should Exercise Caution here.

Poor boating conditions will also exist overnight and early Thursday
morning near inlets during the outgoing tide with swell periods of
13 to 15 seconds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
Isolated lightning storms will still be possible through the
morning and early afternoon hours on Thursday associated with the
next cold frontal passage. A few stronger storms may still be
possible, southeast of the I-4 corridor, before this activity
shifts offshore with the passing front.

Northwest to north winds will increase Thursday through Thursday
night over the Atlantic waters and produce hazardous boating
conditions, especially in the Gulf Stream through Friday. Seas will
build in response and keep conditions poor to hazardous through at
least Friday night.

Strong and gusty northwest winds behind Thursday`s cold front will
promote wind speeds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 to 35 mph. Highest
winds along the coast.

Much drier air will produce low relative humidity values Friday into
the weekend and contribute to some sensitive fire weather
conditions.

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