.NOW...
Through 11 am, widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
will wax and wane and generally move west-northwest at 5 to 10 knots.
Most of the activity is concentrated across the nearshore waters of
the Florida Keys with lesser activity across the Straits of Florida.
Mariners encountering the stronger of the activity can expect
blinding downpours, wind gusts to near 25 knots and brief bouts of
lightning. Select island communities in the Upper Keys could receive
an additional half an inch of rainfall with locally higher amounts.
