.NOW...

Through 800 pm, a large area of rain, with scattered embedded 

showers and isolated thunderstorms will be found from the broad 

region around the Dry Tortugas, to the Florida Straits south from 

there and the Marquesas Keys. The stronger activity will produce

wind gusts near 35 mph, blinding downpours, and a few lightning

strikes. Light to moderate rain will continue across much of the

island chain.
