NOW
THROUGH MIDNIGHT, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST BETWEEN 10 TO 15 KNOTS WAXING AND
WANING AS THEY DO SO THROUGHOUT THE NEARSHORE AND OFFSHORE WATERS OF
THE ISLAND CHAIN. OCCASIONALLY ONE OF THESE SHOWERS OR A THUNDERSTORM
MAY AFFECT THE ISLAND CHAIN. THERE IS ALSO AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT
CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE FLORIDA KEYS
COASTAL WATERS, CURRENTLY LOCATED NORTH OF THE MIDDLE KEYS. THIS
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAY ALSO BE AN INSTIGATOR IN DEVELOPING FUTURE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MARINERS ENCOUNTERING THE STRONGER
ACTIVITY CAN EXPECT MODERATE TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS REDUCING VISIBILITY,
WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS, AND OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES.
