This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for east central Florida.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
A line of gusty showers and isolated lightning storms will
approach and begin to move into Lake and Volusia counties toward
early to mid afternoon. This activity will have the potential to
produce strong wind gusts up to 40 to 45 mph as it progresses
southward through the I-4 corridor. Additional storm threats will
include occasional cloud to ground lightning strikes and heavy
downpours. This line will then weaken and diminish through late
afternoon and evening as it continues southward.

.HIGH WIND IMPACT...
South to southwest winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph across the
area today, shortly after sunrise. A Wind Advisory is in effect
through 4 PM across Lake, Volusia, Seminole, Orange and northern
Brevard counties, where wind gusts up to 35 to 40 mph are
forecast. Farther south across east central Florida, windy
conditions are still expected, but gusts will be closer to 30 to
35 mph. Make sure to secure loose outdoor objects.

.RIP CURRENT AND SURF IMPACT...
A high risk of life-threatening rip currents and a strong
northward flowing longshore current will exist at all central
Florida Atlantic beaches today. Entering the water is highly
discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t
swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following
the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or
wave for help.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
A fresh to strong south to southwest breeze ahead of an
approaching strong cold front will produce hazardous boating
conditions across the coastal waters today, with a Small Craft
Advisory in effect for the entire coastal waters through late
afternoon. Poor to hazardous boating conditions will continue
into tonight as wind speeds remain elevated and gradually become
north to northwest behind the passing front.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.
At least a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents will continue
into this week.

Poor to hazardous boating conditions will continue through
Monday.

An area of low pressure is forecast to develop along the northern
Gulf coast and push east to northeast across north Florida into
midweek, with another cold front moving through the region. This
will increase rain chances and may also lead to isolated
lightning storms across the area Wednesday. This passing system
will also lead to redeveloping poor to hazardous boating
conditions across the coastal waters midweek.

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