Through 630 pm, isolated showers will wax and wane as they track
slowly eastward at 5 mph, across the island chain from Geiger Key to
Layton, as well as the surrounding nearshore waters. The stronger
cells will produce wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph, reduce visibility in
heavy rain, and possibly a few lightning strikes. A few island
locations may receive one quarter to one half of an inch of rain.
