.NOW...
Through 300 am, isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue 
moving to the southwest between 5 to 10 knots across the nearshore 
and offshore waters of the Florida Keys. Occasionally, a shower may 
move across the Island Chain, especially the Middle Keys. Mariners 
encountering this activity can expect moderate to heavy downpours 
reducing visibility, wind gusts of 20 to 25 knots, and occasional 
lightning strikes. On land, a few island communities of the Middle 
Keys may receive a trace to few hundredths of an inch of rainfall.
