A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for all the Florida Keys. Elevated tides will result in saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots along the Bayside waters of the Upper Keys as well as the Middle and Lower Keys. Motorists throughout the Florida Keys should remember that persistent puddles around the times of high tide is almost entirely saltwater. Otherwise, no hazardous weather is expected at this time. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Small Craft Advisories may be required for portions or all of the Florida Keys marine zones in wake of a reinforcing frontal passage early Saturday. Small Craft Advisory conditions may continue for portions of the Keys coastal waters through at least Tuesday. Predicted tides are expected to remain elevated for the next several days resulting in a potentially long fused Coastal Flood Advisory through the remainder of the week and through the weekend. Saltwater coastal flooding will be most noticeable near the time of the higher high tide in the Lower and Middle Keys, with little relief outside of high tide expected in the Upper Keys. Otherwise, no hazardous weather is expected at this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time. $$ AP
