This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for east central Florida.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Isolated lightning storms are forecast this afternoon, mainly
along the immediate coast and around Lake Okeechobee. Occasional
lightning strikes will accompany the most organized activity.

.RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT...
A high risk of life-threatening rip currents and increasingly
rough surf exists at all central Florida Atlantic beaches.
Entering the water is highly discouraged.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Boating conditions will deteriorate tonight over the adjacent
offshore waters, with seas reaching 6 ft in a long period swell.

.RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
The Saint Johns River at Astor is forecast to remain in minor
flood stage today.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
Tropical Storm Milton has recently developed over the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico and will quickly strengthen to a
hurricane into early this week as it shifts northeast across the
southern Gulf of Mexico. It is forecast to be near or at major
hurricane strength as it nears the west coast of Florida by
midweek. Residents and visitors should ready their hurricane
preparedness kit and plan and continue to closely monitor forecast
updates on this system.

Deep moisture and a lingering frontal boundary across the Florida
peninsula will begin to lead to rounds of heavy rainfall beginning
on Sunday and continuing through midweek with the passage of the
tropical system. This will increase the risk for flooding,
especially into early to midweek as the system approaches Florida
and brings heavy rainfall over already-saturated soils.

Onshore flow and building swells will bring rough surf and a
continued high risk of rip currents to the beaches into next week.

Boating conditions will become poor to hazardous Sunday into next
week as seas build and persistent onshore flow strengthens.

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