.NOW...
Through 6 pm, widely scattered showers, and possibly an isolated
thunderstorm, will move southwest to westward near 10 knots, and be
concentrated in a swath stretching from the gulf waters west of
mainland Monroe, to the Middle Keys, and across the Florida Straits.
The stronger activity will produce wind gusts of 25 knots, blinding
downpours, and possibly a few lightning strikes.
