MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT: Scattered storms will move northeast at 35 to 40 knots across the waters from Cape Canaveral southward this morning. A few could produce wind gusts around 35 knots.

A small craft advisory is in effect for all of the coastal waters.
EXCESSIVE COLD IMPACT: Low temperatures in the mid to upper 30s early Sunday morning, combined with northwest winds around 10 mph, will produce wind chill readings in the lower to mid 30s across much of east central Florida.
Hazardous boating conditions will continue through Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will drop into the mid to upper 30s again early Monday morning, and with diminishing winds, patchy frost is possible.
Short Term Forecast
NOW through early morning. A strong cold front pushing south of the I-4 corridor early this morning will be preceded by a band of strong storms. Heaviest activity will extend from Okeechobee County and across the Treasure Coast until about 8 AM. These showers and storms will eventually shift offshore and south of Martin County by mid morning.
Expect scattered showers and perhaps an isolated storm through mid morning elsewhere. Conditions remain favorable for a few strong storms containing gusty downburst winds to around 50 mph and heavy rain over the Treasure Coast. A quick one to two inches of rain may produce standing water on roadways. Storm motion will be quick and toward the northeast around 45 mph.
