.NOW...
Through 3 am, scattered showers situated along boundaries stretching
across the Straits of Florida and the Lower and Upper Keys and their
nearshore waters will remain relatively stationary as they pulse up
and down. The stronger cells will produce wind gusts of 25 to 30
knots, blinding downpours, and occasional lightning strikes. Outflow
boundaries ejected by storms south of the Upper Keys will continue
to move north at near 15 knots into the Florida Bay and will be
associated with a sudden shift of winds with gusts up to 25 to 30
knots.
