.NOW...
Through 5 am, widely scattered showers will track west southwestward
at 15 to 20 mph across the Florida Keys and surrounding near through
offshore waters, especially north and west of the Island Chain. The
stronger activity will produce wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph and
moderate to at times heavy downpours. Any island location in the
Lower and Middle Keys will be most likely to be affected, receiving
rainfall amounts between a trace and potentially a few hundredths of
an inch.
