.NOW...

Through 11 pm, widely scattered showers will wax and wane across the

waters of the Florida Keys, especially the eastern Straits of 

Florida and the nearshore waters surrounding the Island Chain, 

especially Florida Bay. Showers will continue to drift off to the 

west southwest across Florida Bay and to the south southeast across 

the Lower Keys. Mariners encountering the stronger activity may 

observe wind gusts of to near 25 knots and reduced visibility in 

heavy downpours. Some island communities can expect to receive an 

additional 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, especially from Tavernier to Key Largo.
