Through 100 am, scattered showers will move southwestward at 10 mph,
mainly across the near and offshore gulf waters from the Lower Keys
to the Dry Tortugas. The stronger activity will produce less than 3
mile visibility in heavy rain. Island locations from Sugarloaf to
Saddlebunch will be most likely to be affected, and may receive a
tenth to a half of an inch of rain.
