.NOW...

Through 12 PM, widely scattered showers and embedded thunderstorms 

will continue to move west to northwest at 5 to 10 knots across the

waters surrounding the Florida Keys. The strongest of the activity

will be in the Gulfside waters adjacent to the Middle Keys and the 

FLorida Bay waters. Mariners encountering the heavier activity can 

expect gusty and erratic winds of near 25 knots, heavy downpours 

reducing visibility, and occasional lightning strikes. Island 

communities may observe an additional quarter to half an inch of 

rainfall, especially in the Middle and Upper Keys.
