This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the Florida Keys and
adjacent coastal waters.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Fresh east to southeasterly breezes will linger across the Straits
of Florida this morning. Therefore, Small Craft Advisories remain
in effect for these waters.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

A cold front moving southward along the Florida Peninsula towards
the middle of next week may bring a period of freshening north to
northeasterly breezes throughout the Florida Keys coastal waters.
Right now, conditions look marginal for Small Craft Advisory
criteria.

Thunderstorms have a low possibility of occurrence on Tuesday
ahead of the approaching cold front. The primary hazard will be
cloud to ground lightning strikes.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
