.NOW...

Through 1030 pm, a cluster of showers will track southwestward at 15

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

will push across the island chain mainly near the Torches and Ramrod,

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 around a half of an inch will be possible.
