.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible tonight, especially across
the Straits of Florida. The main threats would be bouts of
lightning, gusty erratic winds, and blinding downpours.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

A second high pressure system will build across the eastern 
United States mid to late week and may promote freshening 
northeast to east breezes throughout all the Florida Keys coastal
waters resulting in potentially a period of Small Craft Advisory 
conditions, especially Thursday through Friday evening.

In addition, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible
Wednesday through Saturday. A couple storms may be strong with the
main threat being frequent lightning, gusty erratic winds, and 
blinding downpours.
