.NOW...
Through 300 am, a few isolated showers and potential thunderstorms
will wax and wane across the distant Florida Straits south and
southeast of the island chain, as well as Hawk Channel near the Lower
Keys. This activity will drift generally to the southwest at near 5
knots, though individual cell motion is somewhat chaotic due to the
slow movement. Mariners encountering this activity can expect brief
heavy downpours limiting visibility, wind gusts to near 25 knots, and
possible occasional lightning strikes.
