.NOW...
Through 1100 pm, widely scattered showers and a few embedded
thunderstorms will dot the nearshore waters surrounding mainly the
Lower and Marquesas Keys, as well as across our deep Gulf waters,
including the Dry Tortugas. These showers and thunderstorms will be
nearly stationary. The stronger cells will produce wind gusts near 25
knots, blinding downpours, and a few lightning strikes.
