HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Issue Date: 1105 AM EDT Sat May 28 2022
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
.THUNDERSTORM IMPACT...
Scattered showers and isolated storms will continue to develop
and move east to northeast up to 15 to 20 mph through late
morning and early afternoon, mainly along and south of a line
from Kissimmee to Titusville southward. This activity will
continue to increase into the mid to late afternoon, mainly near
to southeast of the I-4 corridor through Okeechobee County and the
Treasure Coast with scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms forming ahead of an approaching weak front as well
along the sea breeze collision later this afternoon and evening.
Hazards from stronger thunderstorms today include wind gusts of
40 to 50 mph, frequent lightning strikes and small to marginally
severe hail. Sufficient moisture and slower storm motion will also
lead to the threat of minor flooding with 2 to 4 inches of rain
possible in a short period of time.
.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...
A moderate risk of rip currents will be present at all east
central FL beaches today. Use caution if entering the surf zone
and only swim in sight of a lifeguard.
.MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT...
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms that move over the Atlantic
and intracoastal waters and inland lakes will be capable of
producing wind gusts of 35 knots or greater and small hail through
this evening. Boaters should seek safe harbor when storms
threaten.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
Coverage of showers and lightning storms will remain high through
early next week as an approaching frontal boundary lingers over
the area. Cloud to ground lightning strikes, gusty winds,
torrential rainfall leading to minor flooding, and small hail
will be possible in any stronger storms which develop.
The rip current risk is expected to remain moderate for the next
several days.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
