.NOW...
Through midnight, patches of light to moderate rain will continue to
streak to the northeast to east through the coastal waters of the 
Florida Keys. The Straits of Florida feature more showers than light 
rain, and some of these showers will occasionally pulse into 
thunderstorms. The strongest storms will be capable of wind gusts up 
to 30 knots, periods of poor visibility within pockets of heavy rain,
and a lightning strike or two. Island communities can expect a few 
slick roadways, although very little, if any, rainfall accumulation.
