Through 400 am, a few isolated showers and potential thunderstorms will wax and wane across the Lower Keys, the distant Florida Straits south and southeast of the island chain, as well as Hawk Channel near the Lower Keys and the nearshore and deep Gulf north of the Lower Keys. This activity will drift generally to the southwest at near 5 knots, though individual cell motion is somewhat chaotic due to the slow movement. Mariners encountering the strongest activity can expect brief heavy downpours limiting visibility, wind gusts to near 25 knots, and possible occasional lightning strikes. A few Lower Keys island communities may receive up to a tenth of an inch of rainfall accumulation. $$ MC
