Through 1100 pm, a broken line of showers will race east
northeastward at 30 to 35 mph, stretching from the Florida Bay`s
backcountry to the outer straits south of the Lower Keys. This
activity may produce brief wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph and reduced
visibility in moderate to heavy rain. Island locations along the
Lower and Middle Keys may be briefly affected by these fast moving
showers.
