This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the Florida Keys and
adjacent coastal waters.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Minor to moderate coastal flooding associated with seasonal king
tides will continue today and tonight, especially across the
Bayside of the Upper Keys where a Coastal Flood Advisory remains
in effect.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible today and tonight. The
primary hazards will be heavy downpours, locally gusty winds, and
lightning strikes.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Monday and Monday night,
with scattered thunderstorms forecast for Tuesday through
Saturday. The primary hazards will be heavy downpours, locally
gusty winds, and lightning strikes.

Tropical low pressure is likely to develop in the northwestern
Caribbean Sea during the next few days, then lift northward
through the central or eastern Gulf of Mexico during the middle
and later part of this week. There is still high uncertainty as to
the magnitude and timing of any impacts to the Florida Keys from
this system. We do expect increasing east to southeast winds
across the Florida Keys coastal waters beginning Tuesday, and
Small Craft Advisories may be required for parts or all of the
Keys waters from Tuesday night through Friday. All interests in
the Florida Keys should continue to closely monitor the latest
forecast updates from the National Hurricane Center and your
National Weather Service office in Key West during the next
several days.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
