Through 1000 pm, widely scattered showers, and possibly an isolated
thunderstorm, will be found over the near through offshore waters
surrounding the Florida Keys. This activity will move southwest to
westward at 15 mph. The stronger activity will produce wind gusts of
25 mph, blinding downpours, and possibly a few lightning strikes.
Island locations near Ocean Reef and North Key Largo will be most
likely to be affected. Rainfall amounts of a quarter to one half of
an inch will be possible.
