...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER LAND AND APPROACHING THE

WATERS THIS AFTERNOON...



The areas affected include...

  Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet 0-20 nm...

  Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 0-20 nm...



At 216 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated developing thunderstorms,

capable of producing winds to around 33 knots. These thunderstorms

will push off of the coast through mid to late afternoon, and will

move east or northeast at 10 to 15 knots. With the sea breeze pinned

at the coast, storms will likely strengthen rapidly at the coast or

just off of the coast creating hazardous conditions for boaters.

Keep an eye to the sky westward for developing and approaching

storms.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Mariners can expect gusty winds to around 33 knots, locally higher

waves, and lightning strikes. Waterspouts are possible with this

activity near the coast this afternoon. Remain on the alert in case

warnings are issued for waterspout development.



Strong thunderstorms this afternoon will likely produce winds in

excess of 34 knots, and are likely to pose a serious hazard for

boaters. A special marine warning will likely be required when these

strong thunderstorms reach the nearshore waters. Boaters should

consider heading for shore before these strong thunderstorms arrive.
