...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN TODAY...
...BECOMING VERY HOT THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY NEAR ORLANDO
AND POINTS SOUTH...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.



.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
There is a risk for a few strong to severe storms today. The first
opportunity for strong storms exists late this morning into the
early afternoon generally near and north of Interstate 4.
Additional storms are possible both along the coast and north of
Interstate 4 late this afternoon and evening.

Late tonight, additional rounds of storms could enter East Central
Florida from the northwest.

Gusty winds, large hail, and a tornado or two are also possible
in and near the strongest storms that develop. There is a very
low risk for a waterspout along the coast.

Storms today and tonight will be capable of producing frequent
lightning, at times well away from rain.

.FLOOD IMPACT...
Areas that see repeated storms could experience localized, minor
flooding of urban and poorly drained locations.

.EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT...
Unusually hot temperatures are expected for a large portion of
the area today. Heat index readings will top out from 95 to 100
degrees for Greater Orlando and points northward. From Brevard
and Osceola Counties and points southward, heat indices are
forecast to reach 100 to 105 degrees. This early-season heat
poses a risk for heat illness, especially among children, the
elderly, and those with compromised health.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
There is a moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents at all
Atlantic beaches. Always swim within sight of a lifeguard, and
never swim alone.

A strong, northward-flowing longshore current will also exist at
Atlantic beaches today.

.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Offshore-moving lightning storms are possible along the coast. A
few erratic wind gusts of 35 to 45 knots may occur in their
vicinity. Be prepared to return to port if you see dark storm
clouds approaching.

.WIND AND SEA IMPACT...
Outside of storms, southeast winds will generally range 15 to 20
knots over the local Atlantic waters today, and intracoastal
waters will remain choppy. A Small Craft Advisory continues for
waters beyond 20 nautical miles, as winds are forecast to freshen
to 20 to 25 knots over the Gulf Stream tonight.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
Gusty south-southwest winds from 15 to 25 mph are possible over
the interior. Due to the unusually hot weather, afternoon humidity
readings will fall to 40 to 45% south of Orlando this afternoon.
Fire-sensitive weather conditions are expected, especially over
the Kissimmee Basin to Lake Okeechobee. Additionally, scattered
lightning storms will pose at least a low risk of ignition.


Scattered storms will remain in the forecast through at least
Wednesday as a cold front settles into Central Florida. Unstable
conditions and strong wind energy will continue to promote at
least a Marginal Risk for strong to severe storms on Wednesday.
The risk for severe weather quickly decreases beginning Thursday.

A spell of unusually hot weather, for mid-May, will continue
through at least Saturday. Daytime highs will reach well into the
90s each afternoon. A low to moderate risk of heat-related illness
will persist for those sensitive to the heat.

Poor boating conditions will persist over the offshore waters on
Wednesday as winds slowly subside.

A moderate risk of life-threatening rip currents is expected again
on Wednesday.

Scattered storms will become more common again this weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed.

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT...

* WHAT...A strong, northward-flowing longshore current and a
Moderate Risk of rip currents is expected.

* WHERE...All Atlantic beaches of East Central Florida, from
Volusia to Martin County.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Breezy southeast winds will produce a strong,
northward-flowing longshore current today. This can push
swimmers into deeper water unexpectedly, making them more
susceptible to dangerous rip currents.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Swim near a lifeguard. 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.
