.NOW...

Through 800 pm, isolated showers, not something we have been used to

lately, will race to the west-northwest at 20 knots through the 

coastal waters of the Florida Keys. The main swath of showers extends

50 NM east-southeast from the Marquesas. These showers will be 

capable of brief periods of light rain and occasional wind gusts near

30 knots.
