.NOW...
Through 1100 am, isolated showers and possibly a thunderstorm, will
track westward at 15 to 20 mph, across the surrounding near through 
offshore waters, mainly from the Lower Keys to the Dry Tortugas. The
stronger activity will produce wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph, reduced
visibility in heavy rain, and possibly a few lightning strikes. A 
few of these showers may cross over the Lower Keys, near Big Coppitt 
and Key West. A few locations may receive a tenth to a quarter of an 
inch of rain.
