THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

...RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
LONG PERIOD EASTERLY OCEAN SWELLS AT TWO TO THREE FEET WILL
PRODUCE A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA
BEACHES TODAY. THE DAYTONA BEACH PATROL REPORTED TWO RESCUES
YESTERDAY AND STRONG RIP CURRENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED IN
THE WATER THIS MORNING. IF CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT SWIM PARALLEL
TO THE SHORE UNTIL OUT OF THE PULL OF THE CURRENT AND THEN SWIM
BACK TO THE BEACH. DO NOT SWIM ALONE AND ALWAYS SWIM WITHIN SIGHT
OF A LIFEGUARD.

...THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
DEEP MOISTURE AND AFTERNOON HEATING WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY ACROSS INTERIOR
PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA TODAY. A SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENINSULA WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD
ALLOWING FOR ONSHORE FLOW TO DEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN SOUTH OF
SEBASTIAN INLET WHERE THE EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL PUSH WELL
INLAND BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. NORTH OF CAPE CANAVERAL...THE
EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WILL BE SLOWER TO PUSH INLAND...BUT WILL
MOVE TOWARD INTERIOR SECTIONS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. THE MAIN
THUNDERSTORM HAZARDS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS TO 45 MPH.

...FLOOD IMPACT...
ISOLATED STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
THE SATURATED SOIL WILL LIMIT GROUND ABSORPTION OF ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL AND INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF RUNOFF. THIS MAY RESULT IN
TEMPORARY FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

...RIVER FLOOD IMPACT...
THE MIDDLE SAINT JOHNS RIVER IS IN FLOOD. RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS
ARE IN EFFECT. NEAR GENEVA...ABOVE LAKE HARNEY...RECORD FLOODING
IS OCCURRING. THE MIDDLE SAINT JOHNS IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ABOVE
FLOOD STAGE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AT GENEVA...SANFORD...
DELAND AND ASTOR.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE WHERE WATER COVERS THE ROAD. THE WATER
DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR VEHICLE TO CROSS SAFELY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SWELLS FROM HANNA
BEGIN TO IMPACT THE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA ATLANTIC WATERS.

SCATTERED AFTERNOON LIGHTNING STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED EACH
AFTERNOON. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND
MONDAY AS MOISTURE INCREASES TO THE EAST OF GUSTAV.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
