HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Issue Date: 503 AM EST Wed Mar 3 2021
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT. .THUNDERSTORM IMPACT... A line of showers with embedded isolated thunderstorms will cross east central Florida today. Main threats with any storms that form will be heavy downpours, lightning strikes, and wind gusts up to 40 mph, mainly along the Treasure Coast this afternoon. .HIGH WIND IMPACT... Breezy conditions expected along the Space and Treasure Coasts today, with winds 15 to 20 mph. Southwest winds this morning veering northwest behind the frontal passage into this afternoon. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... Rough surf, a developing southward flowing longshore current, and a moderate risk of rip currents today. Large breaking waves can knock you off your feet and make you even more susceptible to becoming caught in the seaward pull of a rip current. In addition, developing breezy north to northwest winds will produce a strong southward flowing longshore current this afternoon, which can knock swimmers off the sandbar into deeper water and make them more susceptible to dangerous rip currents. Only swim near a lifeguard and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... A strong thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out this afternoon along and offshore from the Treasure Coast, as the line of showers pushes through. Main threats will be heavy downpours, lightning strikes, and wind gusts up to 34 knots. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... Hazardous boating conditions today, with southwest winds up to 20 to 25 knots offshore north of Sebastian Inlet this morning. Then, winds diminishing to around 15 to 20 knots this afternoon into the overnight, as they veer north to northwest behind the front. Seas 4 to 6 feet, with up to 7 feet well offshore of the Brevard and Volusia Coasts. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for those waters, but small craft should exercise caution elsewhere. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. At least a moderate risk of rip currents and hazardous seas are expected to continue into mid-week. Another low pressure center is forecast to develop over the gulf of Mexico on Saturday. There will be a chance of storms Saturday with approach of this system, with a few of the storms possibly becoming strong as the low and associated cold front crosses the state late Saturday. Strong winds and building seas, with rough surf conditions are expected over the open Atlantic Sunday and into early next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed today and tonight.
