.NOW...

Through 8 pm, widely scattered showers with an occasional embedded 

thunderstorm will wax and wane across the waters of the Florida Keys,

especially the SE Gulf, south-central Straits of Florida, and the 

nearshore waters mainly north of the Island Chain. Showers are moving

south southwest at near 10 knots. Mariners encountering the stronger

activity may observe wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots, a few lightning 

strikes, and reduced visibility in heavy downpours. Island 

communities of the Lower Keys, especially near and including Key West

can expect to receive a few hundredths to up to a quarter of an inch

of rainfall with locally higher amounts in excess of a quarter of an

inch possible.
