THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

.RIP CURRENT IMPACT...A LINGERING LONG PERIOD OCEAN SWELL WILL RESULT
IN A MODERATE THREAT OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES TODAY.
EVEN STRONG SWIMMERS CAN BE OVERCOME BY RIP CURRENTS. VENTURING INTO
THE CHILLY SURF IS NOT RECOMMENDED. VOLUSIA COUNTY BEACH PATROL REPORTED
ONE RIP CURRENT RESCUE SATURDAY AT DAYTONA BEACH AND LIFEGUARDS
AT WAVELAND BEACH ON HUTCHINSON ISLAND REPORTED SEVERAL RESCUES.

.FIRE WEATHER IMPACT...
ALTHOUGH AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES WILL NOT BE QUITE AS LOW AS THE PREVIOUS
FEW DAYS...CONTINUED DRY SOIL CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW WILDFIRES TO START
EASILY FROM MOST CAUSES. ANY NEW FIRES CAN QUICKLY INCREASE IN INTENSITY
DEPENDING ON LOCAL WINDS AND DRY VEGETATION. BURN BANS ARE CURRENTLY
IN EFFECT WITHIN OSCEOLA AND SEMINOLE COUNTIES...AND ADDITIONAL FIRE
RESTRICTIONS MAY BE IN EFFECT FOR OTHER LOCATIONS.

.DENSE FOG/SMOKE IMPACT...
INCREASING CLOUDS...AND WINDS ABOVE GROUND LEVEL TONIGHT...SHOULD
LIMIT FORMATION OF WIDESPREAD FOG. HOWEVER...LOW VISIBILITIES COULD
DEVELOP IN A FEW SPOTS EARLY MONDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY NEAR ANY
SMOLDERING WILDFIRES...AND POSSIBLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF LAKE COUNTY
INCLUDING LEESBURG AND THE VILLAGES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
A FRONT WILL REACH THE AREA MONDAY AND BRING A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN
TO THE REGION EARLY IN THE WEEK. RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE
BY LATE WEEK AS SEVERAL WEATHER DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GULF OF MEXICO. A MODERATE TO HIGH DANGER OF RIP CURRENTS WILL PERSIST
INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK.

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