Through 600 pm, a cluster of showers with potentially an embedded isolated thunderstorm continues mainly to the north of the Island Chain. The westernmost showers, however, were slowly moving southwestward towards the Lower Keys. Mariners encountering the stronger showers can expect brief reduction in visibility, wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots, and occasional lightning strikes. Island Chain communities can expect a few to several tenths of an inch of rainfall from any showers that move overhead. $$ MJV
