Through 900 pm, clusters of showers will track southwestward at 15 

to 20 mph, through the gulf waters adjacent to the Lower and Middle 

Keys, and will push across the island chain mainly from Sugarloaf to 

the Seven Mile Bridge, into the adjacent Hawk Channel and nearshore

Florida Straits. This activity will produce wind gusts near 25 mph, 

and poor visibility in heavy rain. Rainfall of a half to three 

quarters of an inch will be possible.
