...CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR WATERSPOUT FORMATION NORTH OF THE LOWER
KEYS...

At 1228 PM EDT, National Weather Service meteorologists reported an
island cloud line beginning to form north of the Lower Keys,
supportive of potential waterspout formation.

Locations that will be affected include...
Annette Key, Howe Key, Little Pine Key, Cudjoe Bay, Little
Knockemdown Key, Toptree Hammock Key, and Newfound Harbor.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Environmental conditions favor waterspout formation. A waterspout
would most likely appear beneath a dark, flat bottom of a building
cumulus line, just at the hint of rain. If you see a waterspout,
stay away, and call in the report to your Florida Keys National
Weather Service, at 3 0 5 2 9 5 1 3 1 6 extension 3.
