EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST TODAY AND TONIGHT.

RAIN BANDS WILL CONTINUE MOVING ONSHORE ALONG THE VOLUSIA AND
BREVARD COUNTY COASTS...BRINGING THE CHANCE FOR LOCALLY HEAVY

TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA COASTAL
AREAS TODAY.

ROUGH SURF AND A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL BE A HAZARD

CONDITIONS. PASSING SQUALLS WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL ALSO CAUSE
LOOSE AND LIGHTER WEIGHT BEACH OBJECTS TO BLOW ABOUT.
