Through 10 PM, numerous scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
will move west-southwest across the Florida Keys and surrounding coastal
waters. Most of the activity from the Gulf water surrounding the Dry
Tortugas, across the Lower and Middle Keys and in to the Straits of
Florida. Mariners should expect brief bouts of lightning, blinding
downpours, and wind gusts to near 25 knots.
