NOW
THROUGH 7:30 PM, ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN DISTANT STRAITS
OF FLORIDA WILL CONTINUE MOVING TO THE SOUTHWEST AT NEAR 15 KNOTS. A
CLOUD LINE OVER THE LOWER KEYS AND NEARSHORE WATERS SURROUNDING THE
LOWER KEYS WILL OCCASIONALLY DEVELOP SHOWERS ALONG IT. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL BE CAPABLE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND WIND GUSTS OF 20
TO 25 KNOTS. ON LAND, ISLAND COMMUNITIES OF THE LOWER KEYS MAY PICK
UP A FEW HUNDREDTHS TO UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL.
CLOUD LINES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PRODUCING WATERSPOUTS AND CAN MOST
LIKELY BE FOUND IN THE REGION WHERE THERE IS JUST THE HINT OF RAIN.
AS OF NOW, NONE HAVE BEEN REPORTED.
