Widely scattered lightning storms may still develop this evening due to a sea breeze collision west of Orlando. The primary threats will be gusty winds of 35 to 45 mph, occasional to frequent lightning strikes, and locally heavy rain leading to minor flooding of poorly drained and urban areas. In addition, an isolated lightning storm will be possible overnight along the Martin County coast. .RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT... A Moderate Risk of rip currents continues at all central Florida Atlantic beaches. Entering the ocean at night is not recommended. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. Unusually strong high pressure will build over Florida from midweek, through Independence Day, and into the weekend. Temperatures are forecast to turn somewhat hotter, with widespread low and mid 90s. Combined with above normal nighttime temperatures and high humidity, the Heat Risk is expected to jump into the Major category for portions of the area. This means the potential for heat-related health impacts, such as heat exhaustion, will increase. Local residents and visitors planning to be outdoors will need to take extra precautions to beat the heat. There remains a daily risk for scattered showers and lightning storms through this week. Occasional to frequent lightning strikes, brief gusty winds, and torrential rainfall will accompany the strongest storms. A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents will persist into at least Tuesday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed tonight. $$ Sedlock
