A special thunderstorm warning for Brevard County expired at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, but now the main concern lies at the coastline. 

The National Weather Service said a special marine warning is in effect between the Volusia-Brevard county line and Sebastian Inlet until 6 p.m. That warning carries the threat of waterspouts, which can form quickly and capsize boats, damage vessels and create hazardous seas.
