.NOW...
Through 730 am, a line of showers and embedded thunderstorms will
continue to move southeast to south at around 10 knots across the
waters of the outer southeastern Gulf north and west of the Lower
Keys, as well as the nearshore Bayside and Gulfside waters and Hawk
Channel near the Lower and Middle Keys. Additional showers over these
areas and the western Florida Straits are moving northeastward and
being absorbed by the main line. Any of these showers will be
capable of producing heavy downpours limiting visibility, wind gusts
of 25 knots, and occasional lightning strikes.
