.NOW...
Through 7 am, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
moving generally west-southwest around 10 to 15 knots across the
coastal waters surrounding the Florida Keys and near portions of the
lower island chain, particularly along the nearshore waters just
south of Key West. Most of the activity is ongoing across the
Straits of Florida and Hawk Channel. Showers and the occasional
thunderstorm will be capable of producing blinding downpours, wind
gusts up to 30 knots, and occasional lightning strikes.
