Scattered lightning are expected to develop across the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee region this afternoon that may produce wind gusts up to 40 mph, small hail, and occasional lightning strikes. Increasing coverage of showers and storms is then expected this evening and into tonight as an area of low pressure moves from the northern Gulf of Mexico and across northern Florida that will send another cold front toward central Florida overnight. Some storms could become strong to possibly severe with the higher potential north of Orlando. The primary hazard will be wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, frequent lightning, and hail. A brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... There is a moderate risk of dangerous rip currents at the beaches of east central Florida. If planning on entering the chilly surf, only do so at a life guarded beach, and never enter the water alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Fast-moving showers and storms that develop today and tonight will be capable of producing wind gusts of 35 to 40 knots and up to 50 knots in the strongest storms. This will be primarily south of Sebastian Inlet this afternoon and then areas to the north this evening and tonight. Mariners will need to keep an eye out for showers and storms quickly approaching from the south and west. .WATERSPOUT IMPACT... Strongest storms that develop today and tonight may produce a brief waterspout or two over the Atlantic coastal waters. .WIND AND SEA IMPACT... South to southwest winds will increase to 15 to 20 knots this evening and tonight with seas building to 5 to 6 feet beyond 20 nautical miles offshore. Small craft should exercise caution. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. Scattered lightning storms are expected to be ongoing from Sunday morning into early Sunday afternoon for areas mainly south of a Melbourne to Lake Kissimmee line as a cold front continues to push through the area. Gusty winds, frequent lightning, and heavy downpours will be the primary hazards with storms. The rip current risk will remain moderate at area beaches on Sunday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed. $$ Combs
