.NOW...

Through 530 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. These showers will be capable of

brief periods of light rain and occasional wind gusts near 30 knots.

The Key West International Airport recently measured a 33 knot wind

gust from the remains of one these collapsed showers.
