Through 2 AM, scattered showers will track west to northwestward at
25 to 30 mph, through the near and offshore waters surrounding the
Florida Keys, as well as, the Florida Straits south of the Dry
Tortugas and Rebecca Shoal. The stronger activity will produce wind
gusts near 25 kts, or 30 mph, and reduced visibility in heavy rain.
Island locations along the Middle Keys will be most likely to be
affected by this activity and additional rainfall of one tenth to
one quarter of an inch is possible.
