.NOW...

Through 9 AM, a line of showers and thunderstorms will continue to 

track easterly across the waters south of island chain. Radar 

indicates that embedded cells are going through cycles of 

strengthening, and may bring hazards that include wind gusts of 25 to

30 knots, heavy downpours reducing visibility, and occasional 

lightning strikes. Some cells have shown short periods of rotation, 

indicating that one or two short-lived waterspouts are possible as 

well, but not very likely.
