.NOW...
Through 100 am, showers are collapsing across the nearshore and
offshore waters of the Florida Keys. Remaining showers will be mostly
stationary. Occasional thunderstorms are still possible over the
southeastern waters of the Florida Straits. Island communities in the
Upper and Middle Keys may observe an additional hundredth to a tenth
of an inch of rainfall as showers dissipate. Mariners in the Straits
may observe disturbed seas near collapsing showers. A stray lightning
strike is possible in the outer waters of the Keys.
