Bulletin details
Through 10 PM, pockets of stronger thunderstorms will continue to wax and wane across the nearshore waters adjacent to the Florida Keys, particularly near the Lower and Middle Keys. This also includes portions of the Southeast Gulf waters near Smith Shoal Light.

Most of this activity has been nearly stationary due to colliding outflow boundaries, but may eventually drift northward at 5 to 10 knots.
