.NOW...

Through 2 am, scattered showers across the eastern Hawk Channel, the

eastern Straits of Florida, and the SE Gulf to the north of Smith 

Shoal Light will continue to wax and wane as they slowly drift off to

the south to southwest. Occasionally, a few showers may move across 

the Island Chain. Mariners encountering the stronger activity may 

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

downpours. Some island Chain communities may receive a quick trace up

to a tenth of an inch of rainfall.
