HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK:

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are possible Tuesday with
lightning and brief heavy rainfall being the primary threats.

Rip current risk may continue to be elevated for Atlantic beaches
through midweek. Rip current risk may increase for the Gulf Coast
beaches ahead of a cold front Wednesday.

The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted northern portions of 
South Florida in a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms Wednesday 
into Thursday, and southern portions of South Florida in a Marginal
Risk for severe thunderstorms as a cold front approaches the region.
At the present time, damaging winds look to be the primary threat, 
although an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Interests in
South Florida should continue to monitor the forecast closely over 
the coming days.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are again possible across the 
region, especially during the afternoon and evening hours, Friday
through Sunday.
