Through midnight, a cluster of showers and thunderstorms will track
northeastward at around 25 mph, through the Upper Keys and
surrounding nearshore waters. This activity will produce wind gusts
of 35 mph, blinding downpours, and occasional lightning strikes. This
activity is on the leading edge of a band of rain with embedded
showers a few thunderstorms stretching along the island chain and out
into the distant Florida Straits off of Rebecca Shoal. Any island
location may receive an additional one quarter to three quarters of
an inch of rain.
